The paper focuses on the establishment of the damage law consistent with the adopted physical interpretation of the damage. The model is developed within the framework of the general thermodynamics theory. In addition, the model incorporates a rigorous mathematical description of the damage growth kinematics including both cleavage and slip modes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
