Defects and Cracks
Defects and Cracks
Application of the concept of Configurational Forces to materials with spatially varying properties, particularly to biological structures (e.g. fibre-reinforced like bones).
Application of the concept of Configurational Forces to anisotropic crystals- applications in geology and geophysics.
Defects and Cracks (Kopie 1)
Application of the concept of Configurational Forces to elastic-plastic materials allowing an improved understanding of the crack driving force.
