Description: The theme of this special collection of peer-reviewed papers is the preparation and application of High-Performance Mineral-based Powders (HQMP). Here, HQMP refers to powder prepared from natural minerals with high specifications. It is predicted that the area of application of HQMP will become increasingly extensive. The future development of HQMP lies in the further exploitation and improvement of the manufacturing and production technologies of HQMP-orientated towards markets, and this collection will provide a handy roadmap for these likely developments.

Probabilistic Methods in Fatigue and Fracture

Edited by: A.B.O. Soboyejo, I.R. Orisamolu, and W.O. Soboyejo

Online since: February 2001

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The present book presents an in-depth report on probabilistic methods used to study fatigue and fracture of engineering materials. It is divided into three sections: fatigue; reliability modeling; and statistical methods. The book will serve as a useful new reference on probabilistic methods in fatigue and fracture. It should be of interest to researchers and engineers in industry and academia.
