From the reviews: "This volume presents Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium, 2003 and concentrates on current understanding of fracture processes and inhomogeneous deformation ! . The Proceedings comprise a wide variety of fundamental subjects of physics, mechanical models, computational strategies as well as engineering applications. ! The Proceedings present novel physical conceptions and approaches to solution of dynamical damage and fracture problems for heterogeneous materials ! ." (I. A.
