商品簡介
It is important to consider the growth of cracks or crack-like flaws in engineering structures and components when analyzing design and engineering failure. An important part of this is attempting to determine the factors controlling the path of the crack. Pook (University College London) summarizes the published material on the topic, with chapters on crack descriptions, geometric constraints, failure criteria and crack tip plasticity, directional stability of a mode I crack, fatigue crack growth from an initial mixed modes I and II crack, static crack growth from an initial modes I and II crack, and aspects of crack growth in three dimensions.
