Abstract
The present paper reflects on the state of the development of damage mechanics initiated in 1958 by Lazar M. Kachanov who we commemorate with this series of four issues of the International Journal of Damage Mechanics. This paper presents a personal view and an assessment of the accomplishments of a group of dedicated people interested in this new field of solid mechanics. In particular, the paper focuses on the establishment of criteria needed to define the circumstances allowing for the application of a deterministic and local continuum model of traditional type.
