Abstract
The influence of stochasticity of external action on damage accumulation is studied in terms of CDM. The accounting for microscopic mechanisms is based on the introduction of additional parameters—traditional damage and shear damage. Kinetic equations of damage accumulation are reformulated to account for the stochastic compo nent of loading. The characteristic features of the evolution of the ensembles of defects are discussed on the basis of the stationary solutions of the Fokker-Planck equations.
