The Mechanics and Physics of Fracture part encourages publication of original research on Material damage leading to crack growth and/or fatigue. Materials treated include metal alloys, polymers, composites, rocks, ceramics, etc. The material damage process is complex because it involves the combined effect of loading, size and geometry, temperature and environment. Formulation may involve the dissipation of energy in various forms and the identification of microscopic entities and their interactions with macroscopic variables. The advent of the modern computer, however, has offered added capability for analysing the stresses and/or strain and failure modes. The construction and verification of quantitative theories can be more readily carried out.
