dear iMechanica friends

I came across a review of a paper by HD Bui who was somewhere in the internet, and I find it is very interesting. I could even have written this review myself !!  I don't think the reviewer exaggerates....

Hi Michele,

Hi Michele,

Very interestingly. He is one of excellent mechanians works at Ecole Polytechnique. He is also the one pioneers th dual J intergral in Fracture Mechanics.

interesting?

Dear Michele:

With all the due respect, I don't see why this review paper should be
interesting. The author calls something "strongly emotionally-based
disputes" without giving any reason for his/her claim. Other than that,
I see some trivial history and nothing more. Maybe I'm missing
something here?

Regards,
Arash

 HI all,  The reviewer

 HI all,

 The reviewer found the paper interesting because he reads the paper !. Until one does not have the paper, one cannot know how interesting it is !!

Renormalizations in solid and fracture mechanics

            
H. D. Bui

        
Vol. 3 (2008), No. 5, 853-866

              
          
Abstract

     
We show how some inconsistencies and infinities arising in solid and fracture
mechanics can be avoided by renormalization techniques widely used in theoretical
physics. Some examples, already known in solid mechanics or recently discovered in fracture mechanics, are given as illustrations.
