Experimental and Numerical Fracture Mechanics—An Individually Dyed History

Almost half a century ago, fracture mechanics started in Germany with the foundation of the DVM Working Group Fracture Mechanics in 1969. The present authors have been partly involved in the further development of fracture and damage mechanics, one with particular interest in elastic-plastic fracture and modelling, the other in thin-walled structures, fatigue and assessment. They take the colloquium in honour of the 65th birthday of Professor Meinhard Kuna as occasion to highlight some significant achievements on the background of personal experience. In particular, they intend to show that both fracture and damage mechanics started with paradigm changes which were partly looked at with distrust in the beginning but turned out to be seminal.
