Modeling the mechanical response and damage evolution in inelastic polycrystalline solids /

In the current research an attempt is made to develop a model within the concepts of continuum mechanics. Advanced fracture mechanics is also utilized within the context of a highly rate dependent cohesive zone model to account for the development of internal boundaries during grain boundary fractur...
