Crack Dynamics

The boundary element method (BEM) is a modern numerical technique, which has enjoyed increasing popularity over the last two decades, and is now an established alternative to traditional computational methods of engineering analysis. The main advantage of the BEM is its unique ability to provide a complete solution in terms of boundary values only, with substantial savings in modelling effort. This two volume book set is designed to provide the readers with a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the boundary element method and its application to solving engineering problems. Each volume is a self-contained book including a substantial amount of material not previously covered by other text books on the subject. Volume 1 covers applications to heat transfer, acoustics, electrochemistry and fluid mechanics problems, while volume 2 concentrates on solids and structures, describing applications to elasticity, plasticity, elastodynamics, fracture mechanics and contact analysis. The early chapters are designed as a teaching text for final year undergraduate courses. Both volumes reflect the experience of the authors over a period of more than twenty years of boundary element research.

This book covers a wide range of topics in localized damage with particular emphasis on recent advances in computational methods. It forms the proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Localized Damage: Computer-Aided Assessment and Control, which took place on 3-5 June 1996, in Fukuoka, Japan. The Localized Damage conferences are now well-established as the preeminent forum for presentation of the research on advanced computational methods to problems in fracture, fatigue and damage mechanics.
