Synopsis

Environment Assisted Fatigue (or corrosion fatigue) is a complex subject attracting researchers with backgrounds in chemistry, metallurgy and mechanical engineering. The conference held at Sheffield University in the Spring of 1988 in this subject was no exception to this multi-disciplinary trait. Interests ranged from detailed analyses of mechanisms of how cracks nucleate and grow through to heavy engineering applications where the objective is to ensure adequate service life and avoid costly and potentially dangerous service failures. Rotating and reciprocating machinery subject to cyclic loading usually function for some or all of the desired design life in environments which are "corrosive" to a greater or lesser degree. The higher the penalty of failure in economic or safety terms, the greater is the incentive to unserstand and minimize crack nucleation and growth by corrosion fatigue. Thus, it is not surprising that much of the incentive to do research on the subject is provided by the aerospace, nuclear, electricity supply and oil production industries. The main emphasis is, of course, on identifying and avoiding in practice poor combinations of stress, metallurgy and environmental chemistry and quantifying the kinetics of any residual damage mechanism as a basis for inspection and repair criteria.

About this title

Product Description

"Critical Issues in Environmental Taxation" is an internationally refereed publication devoted to environmental taxation issues on a worldwide basis. It seeks to provide insights and analysis for achieving environmental goals through tax policy. By sharing the perspectives of the authors in response to the diverse challenges posed by environmental taxation issues, effective approaches used in one country may be considered and possibly implemented by governmental authorities in other countries. This volume (the second in the series) contains 37 articles written by authors from 12 countries, with the articles grouped into five categories by topic. Preliminary drafts of the articles were presented at the Fourth Annual Global Conference on Environmental Taxation Issues held on June 5-7 2003 in Sydney, Australia. The articles in this volume were selected after being subjected to a rigorous peer review process. The articles are interesting, thought provoking, and have been written by some of the best environmental taxation scholars in the world.
