Fracture Mechanics Fundamentals & Ap 3RD Edition

by Ted Anderson

Fracture Mechanics Fundamentals & Ap 3RD Edition Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With its combination of practicality, readability, and rigor that is characteristic of any truly authoritative reference and text, Fracture Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications quickly established itself as the most comprehensive guide to fracture mechanics available. It has been adopted by more than 100 universities and embraced by thousands of professional engineers worldwide. Now in its third edition, the book continues to raise the bar in both scope and coverage. It encompasses theory and applications, linear and nonlinear fracture mechanics, solid mechanics, and materials science with a unified, balanced, and in-depth approach.

Reflecting the many advances made in the decade since the previous edition came about, this indispensable Third Edition now includes:

A new chapter on environmental cracking

Expanded coverage of weight functions

New material on toughness test methods

New problems at the end of the book

New material on the failure assessment diagram (FAD) method

Expanded and updated coverage of crack closure and variable-amplitude fatigue

Updated solutions manual

In addition to these enhancements, Fracture Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications, Third Edition also includes detailed mathematical derivations in appendices at the end of applicable chapters; recent developments in laboratory testing, application to structures, and computational methods; coverage of micromechanisms of fracture; and more than 400 illustrations. This reference continues to be a necessity on the desk of anyone involved with fracture mechanics.

Book News Annotation:

This treatise on the materials science of fracture mechanics steers a middle ground between overly simple introductory texts and highly specialized treatments unsuitable for graduate students with little prior background. For the revised and expanded edition, outdated material has been dropped and an entirely new chapter on environmental cracking has been added. Otherwise, the structure of the work has remain unchanged with chapters discussing fundamental concepts related to linear elastic fracture mechanics, elastic- plastic fracture mechanics, and dynamic and time-dependent fracture; fracture mechanisms in metals and nonmetals; and applications such as fracture toughness testing of metals, fracture testing of nonmetals, application to structures, fatigue crack propagation, and computational fracture mechanics. Practice problems for each of the preceding chapters are included in the final chapter.
