An Introduction to Fatigue in Metals and Composites provides a
balanced treatment of the phenomenon of fatigue in metals,
nonmetals and composites with polymeric, metallic and ceramic
matrices. The applicability of the safe life philosophy of design
is examined for each of the materials. Attention is also focused on
the stable crack growth phase of fatigue and differences in the
operative mechanisms for the various classes of materials are
considered. The impacts of these differences on the development of
damage tolerance strategies are examined. Among topics discussed
are; variable amplitude loading with tensile and compressive
overload; closure obstruction; bridging mechanisms; mixed mode
states; small cracks; delamination mechanisms and environmental
conditions. The arrangement and presentation of the topics are such
that An Introduction to Fatigue in Metals and Composites can serve
as a course text for mechanical, civil, aeronautical and
astronautical engineering and material science courses as well as a
reference for engineers who are concerned with fatigue testing and
aircraft, automobile and engine design.
