This book covers solid mechanics for nonlinear elastic and elastoplastic materials, describing the behavior of ductile material subject to extreme mechanical loading and its eventual failure. The book highlights constitutive features to describe the behavior of frictional materials such as geological media. On the basis of this theory, including large strain and inelastic behaviors, bifurcation and instability are developed with a special focus on the modeling of the emergence of local instabilities such as shear band formation and flutter of a continuum. The former is regarded as a precursor...

This bookcontains contributions presented at the IUTAM Symposium "Fracture Phenomena in Nature and Technology"held in Brescia, Italy, 1-5 July, 2012.The objective of the Symposiumwas fracture research, interpreted broadly to include new engineering and structural mechanics treatments of damage development and crack growth and also large-scale failure processes as exemplified by earthquake or landslide failures, ice shelf break-up and hydraulic fracturing (natural or for resource extraction or CO2 sequestration), as well as small-scale rupture phenomena in materials physics including, e.g....

The International Symposium on Defect and Material Mechanics (ISDMM09) was the fourth international meeting of a series, following the workshops held at Kaiserslautern (2003), Symi (2005) and Aussois (2007), and was held in the alpine city of Trento, Italy, from July 6 to 9, 2009.
The Symposium brought together researchers in the areas of the mechanics of defects, in a broad sense: cracks, dislocations, inclusions, precipitates, phase boundaries, and shape optimization.
A select number of contributions based on the presentations given at the symposium are collected in this...

Recently, a new research stimulus has derived from the observation that soft structures, such as biological systems, but also rubber and gel, may work in a post critical regime, where elastic elements are subject to extreme deformations, though still exhibiting excellent mechanical performances. This is the realm of 'extreme mechanics', to which this book is addressed.
The possibility of exploiting highly deformable structures opens new and unexpected technological possibilities. In particular, the challenge is the design of deformable and bi-stable mechanisms which can reach...
