Synopsis

Comprehensive Structural Integrity, Second Edition, a Ten Volume Set, provides material scientists and engineers with an authoritative and complete one-stop reference tool on all aspects of this exciting field. The book puts special emphasis on the interaction between mechanics and materials and structural integrity applications. Because of the interdisciplinary and applied nature of the work, it is an indispensable resource for mechanical engineers and materials scientists from both academic and industrial backgrounds, including bioengineering, interface engineering and nanotechnology.

Structural Integrity is the ability of a component, structure or asset to operate properly under the pressure of a load, including the weight of the asset itself. It’s a vital consideration for structural engineering: essentially the science and technology which can prevent disaster.

• Provides a one-stop resource for researchers with its comprehensive coverage of theoretical and practical aspects of structural integrity
• Covers detailed information that will benefit a wide range of readers in this multidisciplinary field
• Presents case studies that are important for practical applications and industries such as construction/engineering, aircraft, energy (nuclear, oil and gas, power engineering)
• Includes new chapters that focus on recent developments in materials engineering e.g., advanced composite materials, bio/bio-medical engineering, nano- and micro- structured materials

Prior to joining WPI, Dr. Soboyejo was a Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University for approximately 17 years. He is a materials scientist whose research focuses on biomaterials and the use of nanoparticles for the detection and treatment of disease, the mechanical properties of materials, and the use of materials science to promote global development.

From the Back Cover

Continuing from the outstanding success and high reputation of its first edition, Comprehensive Structural Integrity, Second Edition again provides material scientists and engineers with an authoritative and complete one-stop reference tool covering all aspects of this exciting field.

Structural Integrity is the ability of a component, structure or asset to operate properly under the pressure of a load, including the weight of the asset itself. It’s a vital consideration for structural engineering: essentially the science and technology which can prevent disaster.

There are many ways in which components can fail mechanically, and any single failure event can potentially lead to a catastrophic chain of events within a system. The scientific and engineering disciplines involved in assuring structural integrity encompass the physical, chemical, mathematical, materials and engineering sciences, and even also the biological sciences and nanotechnology. Engineers’ assessments must integrate the knowledge of these individual disciplines, and also keep in mind the bigger picture, including financial and safety implications.

Comprehensive Structural Integrity, 2e gives special emphasis to the interaction between mechanics and materials and structural integrity applications. Because of the interdisciplinary and applied nature of the work, it is an indispensable resource for mechanical engineers and materials scientists from both academic and industrial backgrounds: including bioengineering, interface engineering and nanotechnology.

Comprising approximately 140 substantial articles, this multi-volume Major Reference Work is arranged into 10 thematic Sections:
Section 1: Structural Integrity Assessment―Examples and Case Studies
Section 2: Fundamental Theories and Mechanisms of Failure
Section 3: Numerical and Computational Methods
Section 4: Cyclic Loading and Fatigue
Section 5: Creep and High-temperature Failure
Section 6: Environmentally Assisted Fatigue
Section 7: Practical Failure Assessment Methods
