Review text

The authors assume an isotropic damage close to equilibrium at constant temperature for uniformly distributed spherical voids, by using a method which agrees with the pioneering phenomenological work of Kachanov on creep which extended the dissipation potential model of Lemaitre to ductile flows. The formulation avoids arbitrary material constants, and the inferred predictions correspond well with experimental data. The presented deterministic procedure for modeling the structural damage growth can predict only mean tendency of random growth, a fact which leads to subsequent analysis of stochastic treatment. The paper includes also basic constitutive equations of damage growth, failure criteria, models, kinetic equations, thermodynamic potentials, etc., leading to coupled equations for body forces and boundary tractions. As applications, the authors consider uniaxial loadings, ductile deformations, creep and fatigue damage, and discuss examples based on a large set of experimential data for steels.
