Abstract
A possibility for a unified theory for phenomena such as plasticity, rupture, and damage is examined here. It is shown that a variety of responses can be obtained starting from a purely elastic scheme and allowing for the creation of discontinuities at the price of an interface energy. Moreover it is conceivable to relate, at least qualitatively, the expression chosen for the interface energy to the fine properties of the structure of matter. The paper is restricted to one-dimensional models; their two and three dimensional counterparts still exhibit challenging problems of mechanical interpretation and mathematical formulation.
