It provides comprehensive data on a broad spectrum of engineering structural materials and alloys. You get coverage on mechanisms, testing, analysis, and characterization.You'll learn about fatigue and fracture from both the fundamental and practical standpoint. It's the essential data necessary for you to make informed decisions on alloy design and material selection. You'll also gain valuable insight into fracture control, life assessment, and failure analysis.Providing a working knowledge of fatigue and fracture properties in actual engineering practice, this Handbook is especially useful in evaluating test data and helping you understand the key variables that affect results. It will also give you a better grasp of fracture mechanics to aid you in life assessment and life extension of components. v. 1.

For nearly 70 years the Metals handbook has been one of the most widely read and respected sources of information on the subject of metals. Since the publication of volume 1 of the 9th edition in 1978, there have been significant technological advances in the field of metallurgy. The present volume These volumes cover the properties, processing, and applications of metals and nonmetallic engineering materials. They are designed to provide the authoritative information and data necessary for the appropriate selection of materials to meet critical design and performance criteria
