Description
This book contains 15 fully peer-reviewed Invited Papers which were presented at the 13
th Biennial European Conference on Fracture
and is a companion to the CD-ROM
Proceedings.
The
organisers of the ECF 13 opted from the very beginning for an application-orientated conference, and consequently, this book contributes
to the understanding of fracture phenomena, and disseminates fracture concepts and their application to the solution of engineering problems
to practitioners in a wide range of fields.
The fields covered in this book can be broadly classified into: elastic-plastic fracture
mechanics, fracture dynamics, fatigue and interactive processes, failure, structural integrity, coatings and materials, with applications
to the following industrial sectors: transport, aerospace engineering, civil engineering, pipelines and automotive engineering.
Included in series
European Structural Integrity Society
Audience:
For engineers, materials scientists working in the field of fracture, fatigue and related areas.
