DESCRIPTION:
Finally, it provides case studies for the practicing professional engineer or graduate engineering student, which illustrate the effects of toughness, constraint, loading rate, failure analysis, and other factors that demonstrate the application of fracture mechanics to real-world structures. It also examines fitness for service, or life extension, of existing structures whose design life may have expired but whose actual life can be continued. The latest edition of this comprehensive publication concentrates on the practical applications of fracture mechanics to fracture and fatigue control in structures, emphasizing the driving force and the resistance force. Five sections cover: Introduction to Fracture Mechanics; Fracture Behavior; Fatigue and Environmental Behavior; Fracture and Fatigue Control; and Applications of Fracture Mechanics - Case Studies.
Isadore said A "practicing engineer's" Fracture Mechanics!. This is an excellent book for the practicing engineer who wants to use fracture mechanics to solve fracture and fatigue problems used in industry today. The author explains fracture mechanics and fatigue in terms the practicing engineer uses on a daily basis. For example, different material properties used in fracture mechanics are compared to Hook's Law, yield strength, and tensile strength, material prope. A very incomplete, but interesting book Steven This book is very good at showing how basic fracture mechanics can be used to understand real fatigue and fracture problems in construction grade steels. The down side to this book is that the authors tend to promote their point of view and give little attention to other points of view. For example the authors spend numerous pages on their CVN to fracture toughness prediction method, yet give the master cur. Excellent Book Tiago Guizzo Excellent for practical engenieers that face fracture mechanics problems and need to solve it very quickly. Tons of experimental data and estimations from simple-->cheaper test to get important proprieties as KIc. Very general book covers a lot of subjects as weldings, inspections routines and many others briefly.
well writtenno homework problems includedrare sample problems worked outfigures are fuzzysummary problems at end of book are great-Wayne Reitz, North Dakota State
