This book presents the theoretical concepts of stress and strain,
as well as the strengthening and fracture mechanisms of engineering
materials in an accessible level for non-expert readers, but
without losing scientific rigor. This volume fills the gap between
the specialized books on mechanical behavior, physical metallurgy
and material science and engineering books on strength of
materials, structural design and materials failure. Therefore it is
intended for college students and practicing engineers that are
learning for the first time the mechanical behavior and failure of
engineering materials or wish to deepen their understanding on
these topics. The book includes specific topics seldom covered in
other books, such as: how to determine a state of stress, the
relation between stress definition and mechanical design, or the
theory behind the methods included in industrial standards to
assess defects or to determine fatigue life. The emphasis is put
into the link between scientific knowledge and practical
applications, including solved problems of the main topics, such as
stress and strain calculation. Mohr's Circle, yield criteria,
fracture mechanics, fatigue and creep life prediction. The volume
covers both the original findings in the field of mechanical
behavior of engineering materials, and the most recent and widely
accepted theories and techniques applied to this topic. At the
beginning of some selected topics that by the author's judgement
are transcendental for this field of study, the prime references
are given, as well as a brief biographical semblance of those who
were the pioneers or original contributors. Finally, the intention
of this book is to be a textbook for undergraduate and graduate
courses on Mechanical Behavior, Mechanical Metallurgy and Materials
Science, as well as a consulting and/or training material for
practicing engineers in industry that deal with mechanical design,
materials selection, material processing, structural integrity
assessment, and for researchers that incursion for the first time
in the topics covered in this book.
This book presents fractography and failure analysis at a level
that is accessible for non-expert readers, without losing
scientific rigor. It offers a comprehensive description of fracture
surfaces in engineering materials, with an emphasis on metals, and
of the methodology for the observation of fracture surfaces. It
also discusses in detail the main fracture mechanisms and their
corresponding fracture surfaces, including brittle, ductile,
fatigue, and environmental fractures. The last chapter is dedicated
to the use of fractography in determining of the causes component
failure. In modern engineering, the analysis of fractured
components is a common practice in many fields, such as integrity
management systems, materials science research, and failure
investigations. As such this book is useful for engineers,
scientists, engineering students, loss adjuster surveyors and any
professional dealing with fractured components.

A Practical Approach to Fracture Mechanics provides a concise
overview on the fundamental concepts of fracture mechanics,
discussing linear elastic fracture mechanics, fracture toughness,
ductile fracture, slow crack propagation, structural integrity, and
more. The book outlines analytical and experimental methods for
determining the fracture resistance of mechanical and structural
components, also demonstrating the use of fracture mechanics in
failure analysis, reinforcement of cracked structures, and
remaining life estimation. The characteristics of crack propagation
induced by fatigue, stress-corrosion, creep, and absorbed hydrogen
are also discussed. The book concludes with a chapter on the
structural integrity analysis of cracked components alongside a
real integrity assessment. This book will be especially useful for
students in mechanical, civil, industrial, metallurgical,
aeronautical and chemical engineering, and for professional
engineers looking for a refresher on core principles.
