Lumped damage mechanics
ID: lumped-damage-mechanics
Lumped Damage Mechanics (LDM) is a theoretical framework used primarily in the field of materials science and engineering to model the behavior of materials under loading conditions, particularly in relation to damage accumulation and failure. The fundamental concept of LDM is to simplify the treatment of damage in materials by considering it as a "lumped" parameter rather than a distribution throughout the material.
