Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This volume contains the presentations from the IUTAM Symposium on Rheology of Bodies with Defects. The Symposium aimed at building a bridge between macroscopic and microscopic research on damage and fracture behaviour that contributes to the failure of defective bodies made of metal, polymer, composite, and even mortar, concrete, clay and rock-mass, emphasizing the time effects involved in the process. Besides the usual continuum damage mechanics approach, the thermodynamics of non-equilibrium systems approach is also presented, as well as a survey of the study of creep life assessment, especially in relation to polymers. The book is suitable for research engineers and scientists, and graduate students in mechanical and material sciences. Book News Annotation:Papers from a September 1997 symposium explain macroscopic and
microscopic research on damage and fracture behavior in failure of
defective bodies made of metal, polymer, composite, concrete, clay,
and rockmass. Emphasis is on time effects involved in the process.
Besides the usual continuum damage mechanics approach, the
thermodynamics of a non-equilibrium system approach is also
presented, as well as a survey on the study of creep life assessment,
especially in polymers. Other subjects include rheological-thermal
fracture by laser beam, and a shear stress relaxation model. No index.
