Fracture of Brittle Disordered Materials: Concrete, Rock and Ceramics

Brooks, Charles R

This volume contains a selection of papers presented at Fatigue Design 95 held in Helsinki, Finland from 5-8 September 1995. The papers have been peer reviewed and present practical aspects for the design of components and structures to avoid fatigue failure. <br>Topics covered include: fatigue design experiences, ground vehicle components, component reliability, multiaxial fatigue, notch analysis, service loading, welded structures, probabilistics aspects in fatigue, fatigue design optimization.<br>

Created in 1975, <i>LMT-Cachan</i> is a joint laboratory <i>École Normale Superieure de Cachan, Pierre & Marie Curie (Paris 6) University</i> and the French Research Council <i>CNRS</i> (Department of Engineering Sciences).<p>The Year 2000 marked the 25th anniversary of LMT. On this occasion, a series of lectures was organized in Cachan in September-October, 2000. This publication contains peer-reviewed proceedings of these lectures and is aimed to present engineers and scientists with an overview of the latest developments in the field of damage mechanics. The formulation of damage models and their identification procedures were discussed for a variety of materials.
