Description
The aim of this major reference work is to provide a first point of entry to the literature for the researchers in any field relating to structural integrity in the form of a definitive research/reference tool which links the various sub-disciplines that comprise the
whole of structural integrity.
Special emphasis will be given to the interaction between mechanics and materials and structural integrity
applications. Because of the interdisciplinary and applied nature of the work, it will be of interest to mechanical engineers and materials
scientists from both academic and industrial backgrounds including bioengineering, interface engineering and nanotechnology.
The
scope of this work encompasses, but is not restricted to:
fracture mechanics, fatigue, creep, materials, dynamics, environmental
degradation, numerical methods, failure mechanisms and damage mechanics, interfacial fracture and nano-technology, structural analysis,
surface behaviour and heart valves.
The structures under consideration include:
pressure vessels and piping, off-shore structures,
gas installations and pipelines, chemical plants, aircraft, railways, bridges, plates and shells, electronic circuits, interfaces, nanotechnology,
artificial organs, biomaterial prostheses, cast structures, mining... and more. Case studies will form an integral part of the work.
Endorsements
"The past two decades have seen remarkable advances in materials and structure... the 10 volume reference,
Comprehensive Structural Integrity is appearing at a time when all these advances are coming together. Chapters in the reference are
written by individuals who have been at the forefront of the developments? an important source of information for researchers and practitioners
working in the general field of structural integrity"
Professor John Hutchinson, Harvard University, USA
"an
exceptional tool for researchers and practitioners working in the general field of structural integrity... represents the state of the
art in this field"
Professor André Pineau, Centre des Matériaux - Ecole des Mines, France
"a
valuable tool not only to researchers and practitioners working to solve engineering problems, but also to graduate students new to the
field"
Professor K. Tanaka, Nagoya University, Japan
Audience
For mechanical engineers and materials scientists from both academic and industrial backgrounds including bioengineering, interface engineering and nanotechnology.
