Understand how and why things fail—and how to prevent it. This book presents a broad view of mechanical failures, from small everyday items to large structures, and why preventing them matters for safety and economy.
Written as a guide to the problem, the volume frames three core aspects: the modes of failure, the consequences, and the actions engineers take to reduce risk. It highlights the dominant failure modes—fatigue, stress corrosion, and brittle fracture—and explains why design methods lag behind these challenges. The work also surveys wear, lubrication, and surface interactions that arise as components move against each other, along with non-destructive evaluation methods used to detect problems.
Readers will find practical insights into how industries apply tribology to save money and improve reliability. The material covers safety considerations in public life, economic impacts, and real-world examples where better design and maintenance reduced outages and failures.
Ideal for engineers, technicians, students, and professionals working to improve reliability and safety across industries.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and critical issue of mechanical failure, a pervasive problem impacting a wide range of industries and aspects of everyday life. The author examines the science behind the different modes of mechanical failure, such as fatigue, stress corrosion, and brittle fracture, as well as the consequences that stem from these failures, from personal injury and property damage to significant economic losses. The author examines the history of failure investigation and highlights the importance of understanding the root cause of failure in order to implement effective preventative measures. The book examines the role of material science in determining the fatigue strength of materials and how the location of flaws in the material, like inclusions and surface damage, can significantly impact the lifespan of a part. This book provides a deep dive into the ways in which scientists and engineers are working to minimize mechanical failure and build more reliable products. It serves as an essential guide for professionals and students alike in understanding the complexities of mechanical failure and the ongoing efforts to ensure safety and longevity in manufactured products.
