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

โฆ Synopsis
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
