On the size effects and scale transitions in the strength and failure of materials and structures

Abstract:

In science and engineering the concepts of size and scale play a key role in design. Many physical phenomena show a dependence on the size of objects and the scale of consideration. Of particular interest to the present study are the situations when the dependence of system response on the size appears to be complex, insofar as it is characterized by transitions in behaviour between different scales. Of particular importance is the connection between laboratory specimens and full scale object...
