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

The shortcomings of damage mechanics foundation are discussed. The new universal statistical damage concept is defined from stochastic evolution of microcracks (microvoids). The kinetic equation of damage-fracture probability is derived. The damage, fracture, statistics, microscopic mechanism and ma
In the statistical theory of radiation damage, the mean number of atoms displaced in the atomic cascade is given by a delay integral equation with specified initial conditions. Numerical procedures that use spline functions in conjunction with appropriate quadrature rules are presented for the const
