DESCRIPTION:
He left NRL in 1982 to join the faculty at the University of Maryland. Sanford has had two careers involving fracture mechanics. Irwin. Professor Emeritus R.J. He is a Fellow in the Society for Experimental Mechanics and has received both their Hetenyi Award (for research) and the Frocht Award (
Key Features of the BookUnified mathematical treatment based on the generalized Westergaard formulation provides a coherent basis for the analytical, numerical, and experimental treatment of crack problems in two dimensions.Introductory chapter on the linear theory of elasticity with pivotal results for the circular hole, elliptical hole, and the wedge leading up to the general problem of bodies with cracks.Thorough treatment of fatigue crack growth behavior including both analytical methods and introductions to the NASGRO 3.0 and AFGROW 4.0 computer programs for lifetime prediction analysis using complex empirical fatigue crack growth models.Extensive tables of fracture properties for a wide variety of metallic material
For professionals in fields of engineering mechanics and design.. The book is a self-contained manual on the mechanics aspects of the theory of brittle fracture and fatigue. It includes a guided introduction to the linear theory of elasticity with pivotal results for the circular hole, the elliptical hole and the wedge leading up to the general problem of bodies containing cracks. Typical chapters include problems which extend the mathematical developments presented in the book, applications problems requiring numerical and/or graphic responses, and essay/literature study questions. Additionally, more comprehensive exercises requiring integration of the knowledge throughout the book are included as an appendix
An Excellent Teacher Tom Caesar Alright, I've haven't read the final book. I do have an unfinished version that Professor Sanford distributed when I took this class from him at the U of Maryland. The initial version was excellent. I had tried to slog through other presentations on fracture mechanics and had gotten lost in the details.Rather than just presenting the stress int. Scott R. Short, Ph.D., P.E. said Principles of Fracture Mechanics. "Principles of Fracture Mechanics" is the most concise yet complete survey on the equations and history of fracture mechanics I have found. Professor Sanford does an excellent job explaining how complex analysis is used to derive many of the equations governing the fracture of metals, without bogging the reader down in the mathematical details.. Great text! Erik C. Knudsen This is a very good book for an introduction towards Fracture Mechanics. The explanations are quite clear and author presents some straightforward derivations of many of the important concepts (derivation of the stress intensity factor, K, for example). I highly recommend this book to anyone looking at 'breaking' in to this field.
