Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Fracture, Fatigue and Strength are among the most important properties of engineering materials. The present volume covers all aspects of Fracture Mechanics, Computational Mechanics, Dynamic Fracture, Damage Mechanics, Fracture Physics, Fatigue and Creep of advanced materials, special emphasis being placed on Polymer and Polymer Composites, Metal Matrix and Ceramic Matrix Composites, Advanced Ferrous and Nonferrous Alloys and Nonmetallic Materials. Also covered are various Structural Aspects, Welding and Joining Properties, Stress Corrosion, Dynamic Loading Effects and other aspects limiting the Application of High-Tech Materials.

Description: This authoritative handbook presents an extensive compilation of data covering all important fatigue situations - fatigue strength of steels and other materials, notch- , size-, and mean stress effects, influence of temperature and corrosion, influence of special surface treatments, fatigue of structural elements and welds, aircraft fatigue, multilevel loading test programs, fatigue performance prediction etc.As is well known, fatigue investigations are often extremely time-consuming. The results of the tests depend upon numerous factors, and therefore handbook data must include all of the parameters which affect reported test results. The calculation of fatigue life and strength cannot be performed without having appropriate information concerning the specific fatigue situation. Nor can test programs be properly prepared without knowing the service conditions and the results of previous tests as, otherwise, the results obtained cannot be generalized. Information on component fatigue behaviour is of importance not only to machine designers but also to production engineers in charge of component manufacture, since processing strongly affects fatigue strength, and to maintenance engineers in charge of the operation and repair of cyclically loaded machine elements.

This volume comprises a selection of refereed papers which cover the state-of-the-art, and predict future trends in polymer blend and composite research; including established, as well as innovative, applications and new directions for these novel materials.

Description: This publication comprises Vol. 4 (supplement) of the Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Aluminium Alloys, held in Grenoble, France, July 1-5, 1996, which addressed all aspects - experimental to modelling - of the physical metallurgy of aluminium alloys.

Description: The potential of composites cannot be fully realized unless their fracture modes and failure mechanisms are fully understood, and appropriate design tools for failure prediction are developed and verified.

Description: Fundamental and applied research efforts to develop, characterize, and design structures with high temperature composite materials such as metal matrix composites (MMCs) are underway across the continents. New processing methods, evaluation of critical material properties, constitutive modeling, performance prediction are important needs which are essential for effective utilization and application of these materials.

Description: The term "interface" means different things structurally, according to the materials involved and their thermal and mechanical history. Moreover, an adequate description of an interface may vary considerably, according to the property being related to it.
