DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Fatigue of structures and materials covers a wide scope of different topics. The purpose of the present book is to explain these topics, to indicate how they can be analyzed, and how this can contribute to the designing of fatigue resistant structures and to prevent structural fatigue problems in service. Chapter 1 gives a general survey of the topic with brief comments on the signi?cance of the aspects involved. This serves as a kind of a program for the following chapters. The central issues in this book are predictions of fatigue properties and designing against fatigue. These objectives cannot be realized without a physical and mechanical understanding of all relevant conditions. In Chapter 2 the book starts with basic concepts of what happens in the material of a structure under cyclic loads. It illustrates the large number of variables which can affect fatigue properties and it provides the essential background knowledge for subsequent chapters. Different subjects are presented in the following main parts: • Basic chapters on fatigue properties and predictions (Chapters 2–8) • Load spectra and fatigue under variable-amplitude loading (Chapters 9–11) • Fatigue tests and scatter (Chapters 12 and 13) • Special fatigue conditions (Chapters 14–17) • Fatigue of joints and structures (Chapters 18–20) • Fiber-metal laminates (Chapter 21) Each chapter presents a discussion of a speci?c subject.

THE NUMBERS AND THE AMPLITUDES OF THE HIGH-LOAD CYCLES APPLIED IN THESE TESTS WERE SYSTEMATICALLY VARIED TO STUDY THEIR EFFECTS ON SUBSEQUENT LOW-LOAD FATIGUE-CRACK GROWTH. THE HIGH-LOAD CYCLES CONSISTENTLY DELAYED SUBSEQUENT FATIGUE-CRACK GROWTH AT LOWER LOAD LEVELS. FOR A GIVEN LOW-LOAD LEVEL, THE HIGHER THE PRECEDING HIGH-LOAD LEVEL WAS, THE GREATER THE DELAY IN CRACK PROPAGATION. FURTHERMORE, THE DELAY IN CRACK GROWTH INCREASED WITH INCREASING NUMBERS OF HIGH-LOAD CYCLES UP TO A LIMIT. ONE HIGH-LOAD CYCLE CAUSED APPROXIMATELY ONE-FOURTH OF THE MAXIMUM DELAY, AND TEN HIGH-LOAD CYCLES CAUSED APPROXIMATELY ONE-HALF OF THE MAXIMUM DELAY. THESE DELAYS PROBABLY RESULTED FROM RESIDUAL COMPRESSIVE STRESSES GENERATED IN THE MATERIAL IMMEDIATELY AHEAD OF THE CRACK TIP DURING THE APPLICATION OF THE HIGH-LOAD CYCLES. ELECTRON FRACTOGRAPHIC STUDIES SHOWED THAT A GIVEN STRESS LEVEL, FATIGUE CRACKS PROPAGATED MORE SLOWLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE APPLICATION OF A HIGH-LOAD CYCLE THAN THEY DID IMMEDIATELY BEFORE ITS APPLICATION. THIS LOWER CRACK-GROWTH RATE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DELAY IN CRACK GROWTH OBSERVED ON THE MACROSCOPIC LEVEL.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book offers a concise introduction to fatigue crack growth, based on practical examples. It discusses the essential concepts of fracture mechanics, fatigue crack growth under constant and variable amplitude loading and the determination of the fracture-mechanical material parameters. The book also introduces the analytical and numerical simulation of fatigue crack growth as well as crack initiation. It concludes with a detailed description of several practical case studies and some exercises. The target group includes graduate students, researchers at universities and practicing engineers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The book summarizes recent international research and experimental developments regarding fatigue crack growth investigations of rubber materials. It shows the progress in fundamental as well as advanced research of fracture investigation of rubber material under fatigue loading conditions, especially from the experimental point of view. However, some chapters will describe the progress in numerical modeling and physical description of fracture mechanics and cavitation phenomena in rubbers. Initiation and propagation of cracks in rubber materials are dominant phenomena which determine the lifetime of these soft rubber materials and, as a consequence, the lifetime of the corresponding final rubber parts in various fields of application. Recently, these phenomena became of great scientific interest due to the development of new experimental methods, concepts and models. Furthermore, crack phenomena have an extraordinary impact on rubber wear and abrasion of automotive tires; and understanding of crack initiation and growth in rubbers will help to support the growthing number of activities and worldwide efforts of reduction of tire wear losses and abrasion based emissions.
