Metal Fatigue in Engineering

About the Book: Metal Fatigue In Engineering: 2nd Edition Most mechanical, civil and materials engineers are required tohave knowledge of the design of metal equipment, machine elementsor structures that can be subjected to stress loading. Stressessuch as weight loads, torque, or friction cause fatigue on themember under analysis, which may result in cracking and ultimatelyfailure of the member. Contents Introduction and Historical Overview. Fatigue Design Methods. Macro/Micro Aspects of Fatigue of Metals. Fatigue Tests and Stress-Life (S-N) Approach.
