Provides coverage of the slitting method with results in analysis, computation and estimation. This book discusses different roles of residual stresses from the fracture mechanics perspective. It covers near-surface and through-thickness residual stress measurements, and provides computer programs to facilitate the implementation of this method.
Generally, welding produces welding deformation and residual stress in the products, which influences the quality and performance of the products. This title provides a computational approach to the prediction of the effects of deformation and residual stress on materials.
Featuring problem-solving methodology, this title gives students the opportunity to learn statics. It includes sample problems with the solution laid out in a single page, allowing students to see important key problem types. It includes chapter openers with real-life examples and outlines previewing objectives.
Hertzberg's 5th edition of Deformation & Fracture Mechanics of Engineering Materials offers several new features including a greater number and variety of homework problems using more computational software; more "real world" applications of theories, case studies; and less coverage of metals.
This book presents original and practical approaches to the reliability determination of fatigue and fracture behaviour. Incorporating probability, statistics and other related areas, it will be a valuable aid to a wide spectrum of engineers and researchers.
Fracture Mechanics presents the fundamentals of fracture research and engineering practice. Class-tested at Cornell, this book is designed for students, researchers and practitioners interested in understanding, and contributing, to a diverse and vital field of knowledge.
This book reviews recent research on fracture properties and behavior of the composites, and their damage and cracking process under both quasi-static and impact loading conditions. Covers theory, experimental investigation, numerical simulation and more.
This updated textbook is for people working on fatigue problems of engineering structures and materials associated with design, predictions, load spectra and experimental verifications. The added CD-ROM will be a valuable tool for a new generation of students.
Gives the reader an understanding of stress wave behaviour while taking into account the constitutive equations of elastic-plastic solids. This work helps engineers understand the effects and behavior of stress waves in various materials. It aids in the process of engineering design, testing, and evaluation.
Fatigue is one of the primary reasons for the failure of structural components. Fatigue crack growth is a crucial subject in the aircraft, railroad and other transportation industries as well as in the biomedical industry. This book presents research in the field.
A review of the effect of fracture on life, following the development of the understanding of fracture. After a short introduction to fracture, it covers the effects of fracture on the evolution of the Earth, plants and animals, and man, as well as the largely empirical control of fracture from ancient times to the end of the nineteenth century.
Provides a coverage of the theoretical, experimental, and numerical techniques employed in the field of stress analysis. This work provides a transition from the elementary topics to advanced mechanics of materials. Its broad range of coverage allows instructors to easily select many different topics for use in one or more courses.
Provides fresh approaches and various applications to advance the understanding of crack formation and propagation. With applications in composite materials, layered structures, and microelectronic packaging among others, this title is suitable for those who are studying or applying concepts of fracture mechanics.
The engineering necessity of fracture mechanics is to improve the empirical data-handbook style and mechanics of materials based design. This book examines the phenomenon of 'crack growth'. It gives a snapshot of the research effort of various groups around the globe in the past decade or more on the important topic of crack growth.
Contains the proceedings of EXPLOMET[trademark] 2000, International Conference on Fundamental Issues and Applications of Shock-Wave and High-Strain-Rate Phenomena, held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 2000. This volume includes contributions from fourteen countries outside the United States.
Discusses high cycle fatigue (HCF) from an engineering viewpoint in response to a series of HCF failures in the USAF and the concurrent realization that HCF failures in general were taking place universally in both civilian and military engines. This title covers constant life diagrams, and notch fatigue under HCF conditions.
