Abstraet--Nonequilibrium statistical fracture mechanics is a theory of fracture that macromechanical quantities can be derived from the microscopic atomic mechanism of microcrack (or microvoid) evolution dynamics by means of nonequilibrium statistical physical concepts and methods. The microcrack ev

We study the nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of classical lattice ฯ 4 theory in thermal gradients of arbitrary strength. The steady-state physics of the theory in (1 + 1) dimensions is investigated from first principles and classified into dynamical regimes. The bulk properties associated with
A formal but not conventional equivalence between stochastic processes in nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics and Schriidinger dynamics in quantum mechanics is shown. It is found, for each stochastic process described by a stochastic differential equation of Ito type, there exists a Schrodinge
Using Zubarev's theory of the operator, nonequilibrium linear quasithermodynamics is presented. Laws connecting generalized fluxes with generalized forces are formulated. The components of the kinetic transfer coefficients are determined. These are rank 0-4 tensors.
The physical foundation of statistical law of fatigue fracture is discussed. The universal forms of the microcrack growth rate, flu~ua~on growth coefficient and dist~bution function and fatigue life distribution function have been given.
The shortcomings of Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) are discussed and nonequilibrium statistical physics is used to establish a new statistical theory of inhomogeneous damage. The growth of microscopically damaged regions (cracks, voids, etc.) is regarded as the elementary process of damage to the
