Description for Statistical Physics of Fracture, Breakdown, and Earthquake: Effects of Disorder and Heterogeneity
Hardcover. In this book, the authors bring together basic ideas from fracture mechanics and statistical physics, classical theories, simulation and experimental results to make the statistical physics aspects of fracture more accessible. Series: Statistical Physics of Fracture and Breakdown. Num Pages: 344 pages. BIC Classification: PHS; TGMD5. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 248 x 174 x 23. Weight in Grams: 892.
In this book, the authors bring together basic ideas from fracture mechanics and statistical physics, classical theories, simulation and experimental results to make the statistical physics aspects of fracture more accessible.
They explain fracture-like phenomena, highlighting the role of disorder and heterogeneity from a statistical physical viewpoint. The role of defects is discussed in brittle and ductile fracture, ductile to brittle transition, fracture dynamics, failure processes with tension as well as compression: experiments, failure of electrical networks, self-organized critical models of earthquake and their extensions to capture the physics of earthquake dynamics. The text also includes a discussion ... Read more
