DESCRIPTION:
Excellent book on fatigue theory, methods, and testing process It is a well written book on fatigue-theory, methods, and testing process. It also contains numerical examples to demonstrate the theory in time history loading as well as spectral. I was working on fatigue due to random vibration. This book contains theory, recent advances, and few step by step numerical examples; that helped me to easily implement random vibration fatigue or fatigue due to PSD and ASD.. Content is excellent but organization is odd Doug This book does an excellent job covering many topics in fatigue of metals from simple uniaxial constant load to complex damage accumulation theories.Two specific topics motivated me to buy the book. First, this is one of the few books to do a decent job of summarizing how to use statistical methods to generate an appropriate typical and design curve from a set of SN data. Whether you want to characterize the whole range of fatigue life or just the endurance limit, several test design and the statistical analysis of those test results are well covered. MMPDS, Chapter 9 and Analysis and Represent. An outstanding book Very well written book. It contains much of the information necessary to understand the fatigue theory. Methods used in fatigue analysis are given in detail. Additionally to the time domain fatigue analysis methods, the frequency domain fatigue analysis methods are also covered.

"If you have only one book on fatigue, this should be the one. This book is an excellent blend of theunderlying science of fatigue and the application of this knowledge to the art of fatigue design and analysis. At the same time experts will find it a useful reference for many of the newer methods and techniques." - International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping . It will be useful to both testing and design engineersThis book is an excellent beginning for practicing engineers who wish to gain a better understanding of the various techniques used for fatigue assessment of structures and components
· Written from a practical point of view, based on the authors' industrial and academic experience in automotive engineering design.· Extensive practical examples are used to illustrate the main concepts in all chapters.. This book is most useful for test and design engineers in the ground vehicle industry.Fatigue Testing and Analysis introduces the methods to account for variability of loads and statistical fatigue properties that are useful for further probabilistic fatigue analysis.
