Structural Integrity & Durability

The first comprehensive reference work on structural integrity, damage tolerance, and durability of metal and composite built-up structures. Derived from 25 years of research, the monograph focuses on computational methods in fracture mechanics and their application in assessing the integrity of structural components and built-up structures used in the aerospace, mechanical, and civil industries. Contains comprehensive list of references and an author index. Chapter Titles: Fundamental Concepts . Analytical Solutions for Cracks Embedded in Linear-Elastic Infinite Domains . Computational Methods for Evaluating Structural Integrity and Durability . Damage Tolerance, Integrity, and Durability of Built-Up Metallic Structures . Composite Structures.
