Written by a leading researcher in the field, 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 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, semi-crystalline and noncrystalline solids. Total-life and damage-tolerant approaches are then introduced in metals, nonmetals and composites along with such advanced topics as multiaxial fatigue, contact fatigue, variable amplitude fatigue, creep-fatigue, and environmentally assisted fatigue. Emphasis is placed upon scientific concepts and mechanisms and the basic concepts are extended to many practical cases wherever possible. The book includes an extensive bibliography and a problem set for each chapter, together with worked-out example problems and case studies.
The book will be an important reference for students, practicing engineers and researchers studying fracture and fatigue in materials science and engineering, mechanical, civil, nuclear and aerospace engineering, and biomechanics.
