Problems of Fracture Mechanics and Fatigue

The complexity surrounding the subjects of fracture mechanics and fatigue and the difficulties experienced by academics, researchers and engineers in comprehending the use of different approaches/solutions necessitated the writing of this book. The book, written by a selection of 15 world experts provides a step by step solution guide for a 139 problems. In its unique form, the book can provide valuable information for a selection of problems which cover the most important aspects of both fracture mechanics and fatigue. The use of references, theoretical background and accurate explanations allow the book to work on its own or as complementary material to other related titles.
