Features: It systematically introduces the theory of interfacial mechanics from multiple aspects, including interface modeling, theoretical and numerical analysis methods for interface problems, interface failure criteria, and the engineering application of interfacial mechanics theory. This is the first comprehensive monograph on interfacial mechanics in China, providing a fundamental theoretical framework and methodology for the analysis and evaluation of interface problems. Interfaces are the junctions between heterogeneous or homogeneous materials in advanced materials and structures, and failure generally initiates from the interface or its vicinity. Analysis and evaluation of interfaces must adopt a new theoretical system of interfacial mechanics. This book systematically introduces the theory of interfacial mechanics, covering mechanical modeling of interfaces, analytical methods for interface problems, as well as the strength, reliability evaluation of combined materials, and engineering applications. Research on interfacial mechanics is currently one of the hot topics in disciplines such as solid mechanics and materials science. This book primarily draws on the author's series of research achievements over the past 20 years. It is the first comprehensive monograph on interfacial mechanics in China and abroad, providing a fundamental theoretical framework and methodology for the analysis and evaluation of interface problems. This book is suitable for graduate students, teachers, and relevant engineering and experimental researchers in fields such as mechanics, mechanical engineering, materials science, shipbuilding, and civil engineering. It can also serve as a reference book for undergraduate students in solid mechanics and other related disciplines. Interfacial mechanics is a branch of solid mechanics. This book systematically introduces the theory of interfacial mechanics, covering mechanical modeling of interfaces, analytical methods for interface problems, as well as the strength, reliability evaluation of combined materials, and engineering applications.
