Mechanics of Fatigue | Mechanical Engineering

Product Description

Mechanics of Fatigue addresses the range of topics concerning damage fatigue and fracture of engineering materials and structures. The core of this resource builds upon the synthesis of micro- and macro-mechanics of fracture. In micromechanics both the modeling of mechanical phenomena on the level of material structure and the continuous approach are based on the use of certain internal field parameters characterizing the dispersed micro-damage. This is referred to as continuum damage mechanics. The author develops his own theory for macromechanics called analytical fracture mechanics. This term means the system cracked body - loading or loading device - is considered as a mechanical system…
