Continuum Damage Mechanics

  • Chapter
Handbook of Materials Modeling

Abstract

Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) can be thought of as a subset of ISV theory as described earlier. It was introduced by Kachanov [1] and modified somewhat by Rabotnov [2]] has now reached a stage that practical engineering problems can be solved. In contrast to fracture mechanics which considers the process of initiation and growth of microcracks as a discontinuous phenomenon, continuum damage mechanics uses a continuous variable, ϕ, which is related to the density of these defects, to describe the deterioration of the material before the initiation of macrocracks.
