Mechanics of Fatigue addresses the range of topics related to the damage, fatigue, and fracture of engineering materials and structures. The core of this resource builds upon the synthesis of micro-...
The onset of mechanical failures due to metal fatigue has been a constant source of concern for engineers ever since the initial discoveries of fatigue-related phenomena in the early 1800s. Today,...
Failures of many mechanical components in service result from fatigue. The cracks which grow may either originate from some pre-existing macroscopic defect, or, if the component is of high integrity...
This book, which has only one very distant forerunner authored by David A. Hills with David Nowell, represents a very big step that is the quantification of these problems and represents...
On Fracture Mechanics A major objective of engineering design is the determination of the geometry and dimensions of machine or structural elements and the selection of material in such a way that...
