Overview
- Provides a new window to look at the formidable topic of catastrophic failure different from the top-down approach and continuum damage
- Combines the physical and mechanical expertise from an interdisciplinary standpoint towards the damage and failure
- Presents typical applications of the framework of statistical meso-mechanics to practically important cases, such as concrete under bi-axial loading, metal forming, failure wave, spallation under impact, short fatigue crack, etc
