A phenomenological theory of fracture is developed to establish formal
rules for the detection of flaws in materials at different stages of
production, determine the extent of degradation of their properties du
ring service and the potential for restoring them to their original va
lues, and predict the residual life of machine parts and structural el
ements. The model is based on the concept of the gradual accumulation
of microscopic damages under the influence of applied loads. This proc
ess is interrupted at a certain moment of time by macroscopic fracture
.
