- self-contained and well illustrated - complete and comprehensive derivation of mechanical/mathematical results with enphasis on issues of practical importance - combines classical subjects of fracture mechanics with modern topics such as microheterogeneous materials, piezoelectric materials, thin films, damage - mechanically and mathematically clear and complete derivations of results
The book introduces and informs the reader on how fracture mechanics works and how it is so different from other forms of analysis that are used to characterize mechanical properties.
Results and Discussion The results of testing were a series of curves representing crack growth rate versus high frequency K range for constant low frequency cycle AK range and low cycle hold time. Crack growth rate is reported in terms ...
This book presents recent advances related to the following two topics: how mechanical fields close to material or geometrical singularities such as cracks can be determined; how failure criteria can be established according to the ...
Reflecting the many advances made in the decade since the previous edition came about, this indispensable Third Edition now includes: A new chapter on environmental cracking Expanded coverage of weight functions New material on toughness ...
These new challenges motivated the author to proceed with the second edition of the book. The second edition of the book contains four new chapters in addition to the ten chapters of the first edition.
Intended for engineers, researchers, and graduate students dealing with materials science, structural design, and nondestructive testing and evaluation, this book represents a continuation of the author's "Fracture Mechanics" (1997).
Thus , it is assumed that p ( x ) = Ко 23 2пх for 0 < x < ut , ( 6.4.36 ) where Ko is the initial equilibrium stress intensity factor . The dynamic stress intensity factor for this case is ut Ко Kj ( ut , v ) = k ( u ) k ( w ) 6.
This book will be especially useful for students in mechanical, civil, industrial, metallurgical, aeronautical and chemical engineering, and for professional engineers looking for a refresher on core principles.
From leading experts in fracture mechanics, this new text provides new approaches and new applications to advance the understanding of crack initiation and propagation.
