Product Overview
Identifies the conditions that lead to fracture in metal parts, and explains the best methods for determining the causes of failure. Points out how macroscopic fracture features are related to the general aspects of solid mechanics, and how the common features found on the fracture surfaces of metallic materials are related to the type of loading that caused the fracture. For people involved in the design, installation, or operation of machines or structural components. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
