Fatigue is probabilistic in nature and involves a complex spectrum
of loading history with variable amplitudes and frequencies. Yet
most available fatigue failure prediction methods are empirical and
concentrate on very specific types of loading. Taking a different
approach, Introduction to Thermodynamics of Mechanical Fatigue
examines the treatment of fatigue via the principles of
thermodynamics. It starts from the premise that fatigue is a
dissipative process and must obey the laws of thermodynamics. In
general, it can be hypothesized that mechanical degradation is a
consequence of irreversible thermodynamic processes. This suggests
that entropy generation offers a natural measure of degradation. An
Entropic Approach to Fatigue and Degradation Drawing on recent
cutting-edge research and development, the authors present a
unified entropic approach to problems involving fatigue. They
introduce the fundamentals of fatigue processes and explore a wide
range of practical engineering applications. Fundamental Concepts
and Methodologies The book reviews commonly observed failure modes,
discusses how to analyze fatigue problems, and examines the
deformation characteristics of a solid material subjected to
fatigue loading. It also looks at how to use thermodynamics to
determine the onset of fatigue failure. In addition, the book
presents methodologies for improving fatigue life and for
accelerated fatigue testing. Learn How to Apply the Entropic
Approach to Fatigue Problems Comprehensive and well organized, this
work helps readers apply powerful thermodynamics concepts to
effectively treat fatigue problems at the design stage. It offers
an accessible introduction to a new and exciting area of research
in the field of fatigue failure analysis.
