Abstract

The subjects covered in this special collection are all related to fatigue, corrosion-fatigue, elastoplastic fracture, damage, mixed-mode loading, brittle layers, the effects of boriding, short cracks, residual strength and many other topics. In all of the cases considered, the solutions obtained are based upon theory, experimental results and, in some cases are complemented by numerical analysis. The aim of this collection, which was to bring together state-of-the-art developments related to fracture mechanics, can be said to have been very well met.

Abstract

The materials mechanics of the controlled separation of a body into two or more parts - cutting -- using a blade or tool or other mechanical implement is a ubiquitous process in most engineering disciplines, be it mechanical, civil, medical, food or process based, and a surprising number of engineers are involved in cutting and the design of cutting tools. There are a wide range of books available on the cutting of metals, but no other text is devoted to the cutting of materials generally, the mechanics of which (toughness, fracture, deformation, plasticity, tearing, grating, chewing, etc) hav

Abstract

Weld cracks are unacceptable defects that can compromise the integrity of welded structures. Weld cracking can lead to structural failures which at best will require remedial action and at worst can lead to loss of life. Weld cracking in ferrous alloys reviews the latest developments in the design, evaluation, prevention and repair of weld cracks.Part one reviews the fundamentals as well as recent advances in the areas of welding technology, design and material selection for preventing weld cracking. Part two analyses weld crack behaviour, evaluation and repair of cracking/cracked weld

Abstract

The proceedings of the AIQ-ICF conference is a collection of papers on recent advances in methods and approaches to Damage Control and Fracture Mechanics. Written by leading international experts in the area, this book presents new ideas in the field at the highest level and will promote technology transfer and be a key reference for researchers in industry and academia. Subjects cover the broad field of materials properties and performance, including computational approaches to engineering and modelling, materials for energy applications, nanomaterials, biomaterials/biomechanics, pipeline materials, stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement, design and construction in joininglwelds, high strength steel (XI00 and higher), fracture mechanics, structural reliability, failure analysis, fatigue, environmentally assisted cracking, fracture dynamics, polymers and composites, and reinforced concrete.

Abstract

This book is primarily a textbook written for people working on fatigue problems of engineering structures and materials associated with design, predictions, load spectra and experimental verifications. Many different fields of interest are involved, as the block diagram on the front cover indicates. It is of great importance that all these aspects are well recognized and understood. The author explains the various topics in a number of chapters. Understanding of the fatigue phenomena covering both crack initiation and crack growth is emphasized in view of possible influences of design variables, material selection, production technology and load spectra on the fatigue performance of a structure. Prediction methods for fatigue lives and fatigue crack growth are discussed as well as verification by experiments. Load spectra analysis and statistical aspects are also addressed. The first edition of this book was well received and has been used extensively in various courses taught to staff members and students of universities and other technical colleges as well as in industries and at research institutes. Therefore it was considered time for a second edition. In general, the format of the first edition of the book has been maintained, but the whole text has been carefully revised.

Abstract

Fatigue is a major issue affecting safety and quality of service in the railway industry. This book reviews key aspects of this important subject. It begins by providing an overview of the subject, discussing fatigue at the wheel-rail interface and in other aspects of infrastructure. It then considers fatigue in railway and tramway track, looking at causes of potential failure in such areas as rails and fixings as well as sleepers. It also reviews failure points in structures such as embankments and cuttings. The book analyses fatigue in railway bridges, looking in particular at masonry arch b

Abstract

This volume consists of selected papers from the first conference on Engineering Against Fracture, held in Patras, Greece, May 28-30, 2008. The book delivers a wealth of scientific works aiming to provide solutions to a number of engineering problems found in several industrial sectors including aeronautics, ship building, material fabrication etc. Following the unique conference concept, Engineering Against Fracture represents the interdisciplinary actions needed for conceptualising, establishing, testing and finally solving an engineering problem taking into account all the necessary interactions. This is the new model which drives engineering in the 21st century.

Abstract

Virtual Testing and Predictive Modeling: For Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics Allowables provides an overview of cost and time efficient methods in generating the fatigue and fracture data of industrial structural parts. Readers will find a systematic introduction to virtual testing to generate fatigue and fracture allowables through two useful techniques: the conventional continuum mechanics approach, and the utilization of multiscale modeling and simulation techniques to predict materials’ properties. In addition, a chapter devoted to the functionalization process covers the current approach to this technique, which strengthens interface durability through bonding dissimilar materials. Coverage of verification methods, used with devices such as the Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), are also described, which motivate discussion of the fundamental structure and deformation processes of nanoscale materials. The virtual testing continuum approach already plays a crucial role in the life assessment of important manufactured structural parts in the aerospace, automotive, aircraft and defense industries when data is inaccessible to engineers. Virtual Testing and Predictive Modeling: For Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics Allowables provides a unique applications-focus view into these valuable methods, filling a critical void in references currently available.
