Structural Integrity Cases in Mechanical and Civil Engineering

This book covers most of the damage mechanism in the scope of mechanical engineering and civil engineering. The failure pattern of various materials and structures is mainly discussed. The sub—topics covers fatigue damage, fatigue crack initiation and propagation, life prediction techniques, computational fracture mechanics, dynamic fracture, damage mechanics and assessment, non—destructive test (NDT), concrete failure assessment, failure on soil structures, structural durability and reliab...
