This book focuses on the mechanisms and underlying mechanics of
failure in various classes of materials such as metallic, ceramic,
polymeric, composite and bio-material. Topics include tensile and
compressive fracture, crack initiation and growth, fatigue and
creep rupture in metallic materials, matrix cracking and
delamination and environmental degradation in polymeric composites,
failure of bio-materials such as prosthetic heart valves and
prosthetic hip joints, failure of ceramics and ceramic matrix
composites, failure of metallic matrix composites, static and
dynamic buckling failure, dynamic excitations and creep buckling
failure in structural systems. Chapters are devoted to failure
mechanisms that are characteristic of each of the materials. The
work also provides the basic elements of fracture mechanics and
studies in detail several niche topics such as the effects of
toughness gradients, variable amplitude loading effects in fatigue,
small fatigue cracks, and creep induced brittleness. Furthermore,
the book reviews a large number of experimental results on these
failure mechanisms. The book will benefit structural and materials
engineers and researchers seeking a "birds-eye" view of possible
failure mechanisms in structures along with the associated failure
and structural mechanics.
