Case Studies in Fracture Mechanics

Abstract

A collection of more than thirty case studies is presented covering a wide range of practical engineering applications of fracture mechanics to design, inspection, maintenance, and failure analysis. The case studies are written by individual specialists within industry, government, and academia from the United States and Great Britain. The collection is divided into five sections corresponding to (1) Aerospace, (2) Joints and Mountings, (3) Pressure Vessels and Rotating Machinery, (4) Surface Vehicles, and (5) Materials. Most of the case studies are between twelve and fifteen pages in length and written to a standard format. The interdisciplinary nature of fracture applications is reflected in the case studies, and the reader is brought through a sequential development and solution of actual engineering problems in an interesting and economical manner.
