Overview
This useful guide emphasizes a balanced approach to design that integrates fracture mechanics, materials science, and stress analysis -- explaining the fundamentals of fracture and providing clear definitions, basic formulas, and elementary worked examples. Discussing the historical development of the concepts of stress, energy, and materials behavior, Practical Fracture Mechanics in Design offers case studies highlighting fracture mechanics parameters of particular materials and hands-on stress analysis techniques...furnishes design formulas and numerical illustrations...reviews fracture modes...describes structural integrity in relation to materials behavior under ductile and brittle conditions...provides specific design criteria...details the day-to-day aspects of fracture control...supplies independent lists of symbols within each chapter to save time and avoid confusion...and much more. Containing key bibliographic citations and over 500 drawings, photographs, tables, and equations, Practical Fracture Mechanics in Design is an incomparable resource for mechanical, materials, design, chemical, structural, safety, industrial, and manufacturing engineers; materials scientists; engineering inspection consultants; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students in these disciplines.Editorials

Describes an approach to mechanical design that integrates fracture mechanics, materials science, and stress analysis, providing definitions, basic formulas, and elementary worked examples that should be accessible to engineers in a wide range of fields, materials scientists, and graduate and advanced undergraduate students in those fields. The goal is allow designers to better assess the cause of fractures and to develop methods for minimizing the frequency and extent of structural failures. Discusses calculational and experimental aspects of fracture mechanics that are considered supplemental to conventional stress analysis and materials technology. Emphasizes linear elastic fracture mechanics and surveys stress calculations and material selection in making fracture control decisions. Annotation c.
