Books by Keyword: Fatigue Crack Propagation

Description: This volume contains the abstracts presented at the 13th International Conference on Fracture, Fatigue and Wear (FFW 2025), held in Ghent, Belgium, from 29 to 31 July 2025. The conference gathered leading researchers and engineers from academia and industry to share advances in fracture mechanics, fatigue, tribology, and material wear. Emphasizing both theoretical and applied perspectives, the event fostered interdisciplinary dialogue through analytical models, numerical methods, and experimental studies. FFW 2025 aimed to promote global collaboration and innovation in addressing real-world engineering challenges.

Description: This book contains the abstracts presented at the 12th International Conference on Fracture Fatigue and Wear (FFW 2024), which was held in Xi'an, China, during the period 28-31 July 2024. Previous conferences were celebrated in Jinan (China, 2010), Kitakyushu (Japan, 2013), Kitakyushu (Japan, 2014), Ghent (Belgium, 2015), Kitakyushu (Japan, 2016), Porto (Portugal, 2017) and Ghent (Belgium, 2018 - 2023). The overall objective of the conference is to bring together international scientists and engineers in academia and industry in fields related to fracture mechanics, fatigue of materials, tribology and wear of materials. The conference covers industrial engineering applications in the above fields, including theoretical and analytical methods, numerical simulations and experimental techniques. One of the aims of the conference is to promote cooperation between international scientists and engineers from a large number of disciplines who are involved in research related to fracture, fatigue and wear.

Description: The presented special issue is dedicated to the recent achievements in materials science and materials processing technologies used in modern mechanical engineering and will be helpful to researchers and engineers from many branches of modern manufacturing.

Description: The main goal of these proceedings was to demonstrate the use of a variety of multi-scale approaches, ranging from the atomistic to the macroscopic, and in this it succeeds admirably. The special collection includes more than 130 peer-reviewed papers on atomistic, mesoscopic, macroscopic and multiscale approaches.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
The existence of crack-like flaws cannot be precluded in any engineering structure. At the same time, the increasing demand for energy- and material-conservation dictates that structures be designed with smaller and smaller safety factors. Consequently, accurate quantitative estimates of the flaw-tolerance of structures are of direct concern to the prevention of fracture in load-bearing components of all kinds: ranging from space satellites and aircraft to bone prosthesis and home appliances.

Description: The book sums up our present knowledge of the field and also provides a lot of new research results.
