Abstract
The concise assessment of the principles, structure, accomplishments, trends and needs of the damage mechanics is intended to the readers who are not very familiar with this relatively new field of solid mechanics. This Chapter also serves to define some of the major concepts of this field and introduce the other five Chapters of this book.

There is a doctrine that has almost become a prejudice, although it has recently criticized severely — the doctrine that all observable events must be explained as macro events; that is to say, as averages or accumulations or summations of certain micro events.
