Features: "Fracture and Damage Mechanics" is an academic monograph reflecting the author's research achievements. Its content includes: analytical variational methods for fracture mechanics of two-dimensional stationary cracks; energy rate closure solutions for fracture mechanics of three-dimensional stationary cracks; damage mechanics analysis of extended crack fracture problems; theoretical analysis of size effects in material fracture resistance performance; fracture mechanics analysis of delamination problems in composite laminated structures. Additionally, for the convenience of readers, this book briefly introduces the basic principles of fracture mechanics and damage mechanics. The above innovative achievements in fracture mechanics have won the National Science and Technology Progress Award (Third Prize) and the Ministry/Department-level Science and Technology Progress Awards (First and Second Prizes). This monograph is suitable for engineering technicians and researchers engaged in damage tolerance and durability design of aircraft and ground equipment structures, as well as graduate students in solid mechanics, aerospace, and mechanical engineering.
