Defect and material mechanics: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Defect and Material Mechanics (ISDMM), held in Aussois, France, March 25–29, 2007

This volume presents recent developments in the theory of defects and the mechanics of material forces. Most of the contributions were presented at the International Symposium on Defect and Material Forces (ISDMM2007), held in Aussois, France, March 25-29, 2007. The mechanics of material forces, originated in the works of Eshelby, provide a rational framework for the description of driving forces on evolving inhomogeneities and structural changes in continua. Thegeneral eshelbian mechanics formulation comes up with a unifying treatment ofdifferent phenomena like fracture and damage evolution, phase transitions, plasticity and dislocation motion, etc. State of the art in its field Spin off from the International Journal of Fracture, widely respected journal in the field
