Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics of
High Risk Parts
B. Farahmand, Bockrath
ISBN: 0412129914
Provides up-to-date knowledge in the
field of fatigue and fracture mechanics, including practical
applications. This book not only offers an overview of the entire
field of conventional fatigue and Linear Elastic Fracture
Mechanics (LEFM), it also serves as an introduction to the
application of the Fracture Mechanics of Ductile Metals (FMDM)
theory, an approach that determines the residual strength
capability of structural metals and the evaluation of material
fracture toughness without the need for ASTM laboratory testing.
Focusing more on the practical aspects of fracture mechanics than
on complicated mathematical formulas, this resource offers a
variety of features, including a detailed description of the
implementation of a fracture control plan and its applications in
safety-critical structural components. This book should be of
interest to aerospace and mechanical engineers, materials and
process specialists and technicians, stress and design engineers,
automobile, petrochemical and shipbuilding industries, and civil
engineers.
