Synopsis

This book is an attempt to provide a uni?ed methodology to derive models for fatigue life. This includes S-N, ?-N and crack propagation models. This is not a conventional book aimed at describing the fatigue fundamentals, but rather a book in which the basic models of the three main fatigue approaches, the stress-based, the strain-based and the fracture mechanics approaches, are contemplated from a novel and integrated point of view. On the other hand, as an alternative to the preferential attention paid to deterministic models based on the physical, phenomenological and empirical description of fatigue, their probabilistic nature is emphasized in this book, in which stochastic fatigue and crack growth models are presented. This book is the result of a long period of close collaborationbetween its two authors who, although of di?erent backgrounds, mathematical and mechanical, both have a strong sense of engineering with respect to the fatigue problem. When the authors of this book ?rst approached the fatigue ?eld in 1982 (twenty six years ago), they found the following scenario: 1.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The book gives a unified probabilistic approach to evaluation of fatigue damage, including all steps to be followed, starting with fatigue testing planning, material characterization through lab experiments, model selection, parameter estimation and damage evaluation and life prediction associated with a given stress or strain history. It also treats computer programs to do all the above. In addition, a critical evaluation of existing models based on the new proposed alternative model is one of the main aims of the book, trying to change the minds of engineers involved in design jobs.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Here you will find a unified methodology to derive models for fatigue life prediction. This includes S-N, e-N and crack propagation models. The book covers all three main fatigue approaches (stress, strain and fracture mechanics) in a novel and integrated way.
