Handbook of Fatigue Crack: Propagation in Metallic Structures. This item is unavailable.Handbook of Fatigue Crack: Propagation in Metallic Structures

Provides a review of the knowledge and experiences in the field of fatigue fracture mechanics, covering many of the important problems associated with the fatigue phenomena in civil, mechanical, and nuclear engineering. The 47 chapters (by 81 authors from 23 countries) are grouped into seven sections: introductory section (4 chapters); fatigue behavior of metallic materials (5 chapters); theoretical models and numerical methods (6 chapters); fundamental aspects of fatigue crack propagation phenomenon (10 chapters); influence of loading conditions (5 chapters); influence of environmental conditions (7 chapters); and design and assessment of metallic joints and structures (10 chapters).
