From Bulk to Structural Failure: Fracture of Hyperelastic Materials

Discover the intricacies of material science with "From Bulk to Structural Failure: Fracture of Hyperelastic Materials" by Philipp Laurens Rosendahl. Published in 2020 by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden, this insightful book spans 204 pages and presents a groundbreaking approach to understanding the failure mechanisms in hyperelastic materials. Rosendahl proposes a coupled strain and energy failure criterion specifically designed for assessing notch-induced crack nucleation. Additionally, the book introduces a weak-interface model that facilitates efficient stress, strain, and failure analyses of hyperelastic adhesive lap joints. This first edition is essential for researchers and practitioners in the fields of material science and engineering, offering valuable insights into the complexities of material failure. Enhance your knowledge and understanding of hyperelastic materials with this essential resource.
