Description for Damage Tolerance and Durability of Material Systems
Hardcover. There are three fundamental issues associated with the mechanical behavior of engineering materials and structures: their stiffness, strength, and life. This book provides a conceptual and operational framework that treats these issues from the standpoint of technical difficulty. Num Pages: 436 pages, index. BIC Classification: TGMD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 166 x 32. Weight in Grams: 814.
A daring, original approach to understanding and predicting the mechanical behavior of materials
"Damage is an abstraction . . . Strength is an observable, an independent variable that can be measured, with clear and familiar engineering definitions."
-from the Preface to Damage Tolerance and Durability of Material Systems
Long-term behavior is one of the most challenging and important aspects of material engineering. There is a great need for a useful conceptual or operational framework for measuring long-term behavior. As much a revolution in philosophy as an engineering text, Damage Tolerance and Durability of Material Systems postulates a ... Read more

Reviews for Damage Tolerance and Durability of Material Systems
"...the authors should be congratulated for producing a well-organised, well-written, useful book that nay materials and structures engineer and basic and applied science researchers should know, own and use in their professional activities..." (Corrision Reviews) "...a useful reference..." (AIAA Journal, Vol. 40, No. 10, October 2002)
