The aim of the book is to present, in a novel and unified fashion, the elements of Mechanics in Material Space or Configurational Mechanics, with applications to fracture and defect mechanics. This mechanics, in contrast to Newtonian mechanics in physical space, is concerned with defects such as cracks and dislocations, which are embedded in the material and might move in it. The level is kept accessible to any engineer, scientist or graduate student possessing some knowledge of calculus and partial differential equations, and working in the various areas where rational use of materials is...

This book contains selected papers from the International Symposium on Defect and Material Mechanics (ISDMM 15) held in Bremen, Germany, September 14-17, 2015.
The symposium brought together researchers in the areas of the mechanics of defects (cracks, dislocations, inclusions, precipitates, phase boundaries amongst others) and the material (configurational) mechanics in the sense of Eshelby, as a rational framework for the description of driving forces on evolving inhomogeneities and structural changes in continua. Important developments in Configurational Mechanics have been...
