Mechanical Behavior of Advanced Materials


Book Description

Focuses on the fatigue and fracture of metallic materials. Nine of the 81 papers relate to designing against fatigue failure, fatigue damage mechanisms, crack growth, and fatigue life under various loading conditions. Many others look at micro-scale mechanics and laminate analysis. Overall they consider both high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue studies; titanium, aluminum alloys, superalloys, and other high- strength steels; and applications for turbines, jet engines, and pressure vessels. Among the specific topics are predicting the fatigue life of an orthotropic 6061-aluminum under proportional and non- proportional loading, the structure and behavior of materials for a micromechanical device, shear deformation theories and their relationships to the classical theory, the numerical study of damage growth in particulate composites, and an information system for damage tolerance of polymer matrix composites.
