Providing an integrated approach to the problem of fracture, fatigue and safe design, with particular reference to advanced theories and novel computational approaches, this book contains the edited versions of most of the papers presented at the Seventh International Conference on Assessment and Control of Damage and Fracture Mechanics.
The contributions are the work of scientists and engineers from different disciplines involved in the study and assessment of localised damage, and address fracture, fatigue and safe design with emphasis on the application of advanced ...
