Objectives

To give a review of damage models for different materials (metal and alloys, concrete and glass, composites, elastomers) and different applucations (e.g. rupture under monotoni loading conditions, fatigue, dynamic fragmentation). To give the fundamentals for the numerical implementation of constitutive damage models.

Targets

This course of advanced modeling prepares engineers and young researchers for future design methods based on Damage mechanics concepts. Fields : aircraft and space industry, energy industry, car industry, civil engineering.
