Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Taken from papers presented at the international conference "Advances in fracture and damage mechanics XII" held in September 2013 in Sardinia, Italy, representatives of nineteen countries offer the latest theoretical, computation, and experimental research on fracture and damage mechanics as well as materials' structural integrity and durability. The papers range from principals of universality in representative microstructures, crack incubation and propagation, micromechanical modeling of advanced ceramics using statistically representative microstructures, fatigue strength of aluminum cast alloy in plant oil, effects of variable loading on residual fatigue life of a railway wheelset, numerical lifetime predictions of polymer pipes taking into account residual stress, and damage-involved responses of two colliding buildings under non-uniform earthquake loading.
