Metal fatigue is an essential consideration for engineers and researchers looking at factors that cause metals to fail through stress, corrosion, or other processes. Predicting the influence of small defects and non-metallic inclusions on fatigue with any degree of accuracy is a particularly complex part of this.
Metal Fatigue: Effects of Small Defects and Nonmetallic Inclusions
is the most trusted, detailed and comprehensive guide to this subject available. This expanded second edition introduces highly important emerging topics on metal fatigue, pointing the way for further research and innovation. The methodology is based on important and reliable results and may be usefully applied to other fatigue problems not directly treated in this book.Engineers, MSc, and PhDs working in mechanical engineering and materials sciences and with a particular interest in metal fatigue and lifetime prediction of components

2. Stress concentration
3. Notch effect and size effect
4. Effect of size and geometry of small defects on the fatigue limit
5. Effect of hardness Hv on fatigue limits of materials containing defects, and fatigue limit prediction equations
6. Effects of nonmetallic inclusions on fatigue strength
