TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss a modern method of mathematically modelling the behavior of macroscopic volume elements, including elasticity, plasticity, damage mechanics and cracking, which determine the resistance of solids to deformation and fracture.
Abstract: Description: Elasticity, plasticity, damage mechanics and cracking are all phenomena which determine the resistance of solids to deformation and fracture. The authors of this book discuss a modern method of mathematically modelling the behaviour of macroscopic volume elements. The book is self-contained and the first three chapters review physical mechanisms at the microstructural level, thermodynamics of irreversible processes, mechanics of continuous media, and the classification of the behaviour of solids. The rest of the book is devoted to the modelling of different types of material behaviour. In each case the authors present characteristic data for numerous materials, and discuss the physics underlying the phenomena together with methods for the numerical analysis of the resulting equations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the good practice criteria are expressed for different life cycle stages of a hydropower project for assessing, management, conformance/compliance, and outcomes of the project.
Abstract: Hydropower projects may fundamentally alter the landscape and there are likely to be changes to the pre-existing erosion and sedimentation patterns in the affected river system. Not only can erosion and sediment issues have strong implications for the longevity of the hydropower installation and the maintenance costs, but This guideline expands on what is expected by the criteria statements in the Hydropower Sustainability Tools for the Erosion and Sedimentation topic, relating to assessment, management, conformance/compliance and outcomes. The good practice criteria are expressed for different life cycle stages.
