Damage Tolerance Assessment Handbook. Volume 1. Introduction Fracture Mechanics Fatigue Crack Propagation

Abstract

This 'Damage Tolerance Assessment Handbook' consists of two volumes: Volume 1 introduces the damage tolerance concept with a historical perspective followed by the fundamentals of fracture mechanics and fatigue crack propagation. Various fracture criteria and crack growth rules are studied. Volume 2 treats exclusively the subject of damage tolerance evaluation of airframes. Damage Tolerance, Fracture Mechanics, Crack initiation, Fracture Toughness, Stress Intensity Factor, Residual Strength, Crack Propagation, Fatigue, Inspection.
