Fatigue of Materialsby Subra Suresh (Author) Paperback: 580 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.35 x 9.75 x 6.98 Publisher: Cambridge University Press; ; 2nd edition (December 1998) ISBN: 0521578477 Check price @ amazon.com , amazon.ca , amazon.co.uk Book Description: This revised and updated second edition of a highly successful book provides an authoritative, comprehensive and unified treatment of the mechanics and micromechanisms of fatigue in metals, nonmetals and composites. The author, a leading researcher in the field, discusses the principles of cyclic deformation, crack initiation and crack growth by fatigue, covering both microscopic and continuum aspects. The book begins with discussions of cyclic deformation and fatigue crack initiation in monocrystalline and polycrystalline ductile alloys as well as in brittle and semi-/non-crystalline solids. Total life and damage-tolerant approaches are then introduced in metals, nonmetals and composites. This will be an important reference for anyone studying fracture and fatigue in materials science and engineering, mechanical, civil, nuclear and aerospace engineering, and biomechanics. Customer Reviews Researcher's book on Fracture Mechanics, November 20, 2000 Reviewer: fnlayson from Huntsville, AL USA Fatigue of Materials is a good book for researchers and students in fracture mechanics. Book briefly covers stress life and strain life fatigue approaches. Book is written at a graduate level with predominately theoretical content. Author also provides real case studies mainly from aerospace industry. Current topics such as crack retardation, small cracks, mixed mode, crack closure, etc. are covered in this book. |
