Product Description
Fatigue and Durability of
Structural Materials explains how mechanical material behavior
relates to the design of structural machine components. The
major emphasis is on fatigue
and failure behavior using
engineering models that have been
developed to predict, in
advance of service, acceptable
fatigue and other
durability-related lifetimes. The book
covers broad classes of materials
used for high-performance structural applications such
as aerospace components,
automobiles, and power generation systems. Coverage focuses
on metallic materials but also
addresses unique capabilities of important nonmetals.
The concepts are applied to
behavior at room or ambient temperatures; a planned second
volume will address behavior at
higher-temperatures.
The volume is a repository of the
most significant contributions by the authors to the art
and science of material and structural durability over the
past half century. During their
careers, including 40 years of
direct collaboration, they have
developed a host of durability
models that are based on sound
physical and engineering
principles. Yet, the models and
interpretation of ehavior have a
unique simplicity that is
appreciated by the practicing
engineer as well as the beginning
student. In addition to their own pioneering work, the
authors also present the work of
numerous others who have provided useful results that
have moved progress in these
fields.
This book will be of immense value
to practicing mechanical and materials engineers and
designers charged with producing structural components
with adequate durability. The
coverage is appropriate for
a range of technical levels from
undergraduate engineering
students through material behavior
researchers and model developers.
It will be of interest
to personnel in the automotive and
off-highway vehicle manufacturing
industry, the
aeronautical industry, space
propulsion and the power generation/conversion industry,
the electric power industry, the
machine tool industry, and any industry associated with
the design and manufacturing of mechanical equipment
subject to cyclic loads.
