Synopsis

An introduction for practicing engineers or students at the beginning graduate or advanced undergraduate level, emphasizing the application of fracture mechanics to preventing fracture and fatigue failures in structures, rather than the theoretical aspects of the field. The topics include stress analysis for members with cracks, resistance forces, fatigue crack initiation, and fitness for service. Among the case studies are bridges, oil tankers, and steel casings. The earlier editions were in 1977 and 1987. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
