| Summary |
Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics of High Risk Parts: Application of LEFM & FMDM Theory offers mechanical and aerospace engineers involved in the structural design, analysis, and testing of military and commercial aircraft and space vehicles with a complete package combining the practical attributes of both fatigue and fracture mechanics. Stress and design engineers in such industries as automobiles, petrochemical, nuclear, and shipbuilding will also appreciate the book's introductory presentation to FMDM and how this approach can generate the fracture toughness values of ductile metals by eliminating tedious, costly laboratory testing |
|
This one-of-a-kind, single-source guide offers up-to-date knowledge in the field of fatigue and fracture mechanics, including practical applications. This book not only provides 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, a novel approach that determines the residual strength capability of structural metals, a novel approach that determines the residual strength capability of structural metals and the evaluation of material fracture toughness without the need for ASTM laboratory testing |
