Better knowledge of polymer failure enables engineers to improve
material selection, design and processing, and ultimately improve
reliability of their products. Equally, this knowledge is vital for
engineers to determine the root causes of failure when it occurs -
particularly when considering the ramifications of product
liability claims, environmental concerns and brand image.
This book is a practical guide to the science of fractography
and its application in the failure analysis of plastic components.
In addition to a brief background on the theory of fractography,
the authors discuss the various fractographic tools and techniques
in identifying key fracture characteristics. Case studies are
provided for a wide range of polymer types, applications and
failure modes, as well as best practice guidelines to enable
engineers to apply the lessons from these case studies to their own
work.
Detailed images are included for different materials and
conditions, along with the appropriate context so they can be used
for reference in failure investigations.
A practical guide to applied fractography, designed to improve
reliability and longevity of plastic parts and products
Case studies enable engineers to improve materials selection
decisions, and reduce failure rates.
Learn how to analyze the cause of material failures, and use this
to improve your design and manufacturing decisions"
