Presents 40 case studies of engineering components and structures failing during use, and derives from them general principles that can be used as guidelines for designing more reliable components and structures. The examples cover a wide range of industries; the failures are mostly concerned with ferrous materials, but the analysis methodology can be applied as well to non-ferrous alloys and plastics. Introductory chapters review material strengths, fracture, fatigue, and types of failure. First published in Japanese in 1986. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
