description: Reflecting his major contributions to the field, Jean Lemaitre s "Engineering Damage Mechanics" presents simplified and advanced methods organized within a unified framework for designers of any mechanical component.Explains how to apply continuous damage mechanics to failures of mechanical and civil engineering components in ductile, creep, fatigue and brittle conditions.Incorporates many basic examples, while emphasizing key practical considerations such as material parameter identification, and provides perspective on the advantage and disadvantages of various approaches."
