Eight Non-Classical Problems of Fracture Mechanics

This book presents an analysis of eight non-classical problems of fracture and failure mechanics mainly obtained by research in the department of dynamics and stability of continuum of the S. P. Timoshenko Institute of Mechanics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NAS of Ukraine). It focusses on the application of the 3D (three-dimensional) theories of stability, dynamics, and statics of solid mechanics to the investigation of non-classical problems of fracture and failure mechanics.

Presents eight non-classical problems of fracture and failure mechanics Shows 3D theories of stability of solid mechanics Provides models and approaches in non-classical

A.N.Guz is Director of the S. P. Timoshenko Institute of Mechanics of the NASU, Ukraine. His principal scientific results have been obtained in mechanics of deformable solids and related problems of continuum mechanics: the three-dimensional theory of stability of deformable bodies, the theory of propagation and diffraction of elastic waves in multi-connected bodies and bodies with initial stresses, stress concentration around holes in shells, mechanics of composites materials and structural members utilizing them, aerohydroelasticity, non-classical problems of fracture mechanics, rock mechanics, dynamics of viscous compressible liquid, contact problems, and mechanics of nanocomposites and non-destructive methods of stress determination.
