This paper is focused on the development of evolution laws of anisotropic damage. Material damage in the form of microcracks and microcavities leading to macro-mechanical property variations is modelled phenomenologically with some distortion and blurring of fine details, arguing that the extent of material property changes may serve as an appropriate, indirect measure of damage. The experimentally observed phenomenon of damage hardening is also described. The well-established thermodynamic theories of irreversible processes are then appealed for deriving constitutive equations of the materials suffering from progressive deterioration, together with a new hypothesis of energy equivalence instead of the restrictive hypothesis of strain or deformation equivalence hitherto proposed. Thermodynamic conjugate force of the damage variable, the “damage energy release rate”, is deduced in analytical form by assuming that the energy involved in the plastic flow and damaging processes can be uncoupled. Evolution laws of anisotropic damage are established following the concept of a damage surface in the space of affinities as well as the principle of maximum damage dissipation. An important outcome of the investigation is the identification of a new damage characteristic tensor J which can accurately describe the anisotropic nature of damage growth and yet is simple with only one unknown parameter to be determined from a standard tension test.
