Description:
Here you will find a unified methodology to derive models for fatigue life prediction. This includes S-N, e-N and crack propagation models. The book covers all three main fatigue approaches (stress, strain and fracture mechanics) in a novel and integrated way.
Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"This book provides a unified methodology to derive models for fatigue life. ... The book gives a new methodology to build-up fatigue models based on a practical knowledge of fatigue problems, combined with common sense, functional equations and statistical methods. ... Appendix presents a short description of classical and more recent fatigue models existing in the literature. The proposed models allow simple approaches to be implemented in a practical fatigue design, similar to those employed in current engineering standards."
