Fatigue of Materials and Structures: Application to Design and Damage

The design of mechanical structures with predictable and improveddurability cannot be achieved without a thorough understanding ofthe mechanisms of fatigue damage and more specifically therelationships between the microstructure of materials and theirfatigue properties.
Written by leading researchers in the field, this book, along withthe complementary books Fatigue of Materials and Structures: Fundamentals and Application to Damage and Design (both also editedby Claude Bathias and Andr Pineau), provides anauthoritative, comprehensive and unified treatment of the mechanicsand micromechanisms of fatigue in metals, polymers and composites.Each chapter is devoted to one of the major classes of materials orto different types of fatigue damage, thereby providing overallcoverage of the field.

This book deals with multiaxial fatigue, thermomechanicalfatigue, fretting-fatigue, influence of defects on fatigue life, cumulative damage and damage tolerance, and will be an importantand much used reference for students, practicing engineers andresearchers studying fracture and fatigue in numerous areas ofmaterials science and engineering, mechanical, nuclear andaerospace engineering.
