Ebook: Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics, Volume 38:

Eighteen peer-reviewed papers address the latest advances in analysis methodologies and testing techniques in fatigue and fracture mechanics. An important focus area was fatigue crack growth behavior. Topics cover:

Applications of emerging analytical tools

Novel experimental techniques to assess the durability of engineering structures, components, and devices

Associated damage mechanisms in materials

Multi-scale and multi-physics approaches for predicting the fatigue and fracture response of materials and structures.
