International Journal of Damage Mechanics

The *International Journal of Damage Mechanics* is a scientific publication that focuses on studying how materials develop and respond to damage, such as cracks or fractures, over time. It presents research on understanding, predicting, and modeling these damage processes to improve the safety and durability of structures and materials. By sharing advanced theories, experimental results, and computational methods, the journal supports engineers and scientists in developing better materials and designs. Its work helps ensure that structures like buildings, bridges, and aircraft remain reliable and safe throughout their lifespan.
