Fatigue and Fracture (19) (ASM HANDBOOK)

About this book

The first ASM handbook devoted entirely to fatigue and fracture provides basic concepts alloy property data and the testing and analysis methods used to characterize the fatigue and fracture behavior of structural materials. Designed for materials and mechanical engineers with varying levels of expertise with articles on making estimates of fatigue life detailed coverage of fracture mechanics and fatigue and fracture properties of ferrous nonferrous and nonmetallic structural materials and information on the statistical aspects of fatigue data the planning and evaluation of fatigue tests and the characterization of fatigue mechanisms and crack growth.
