Fatigue and fracture mechanics: 28. volume
- eds.
The papers published here cover topics including general overview papers, constraint effects on fracture toughness, technology and applications of fatigue, weld applications, and analysis of fracture in various materials and components. These five topics were used to group the papers, but it is clear that there is considerable overlap of these topics in many of the papers. Many basic concepts and results in fatigue and fracture are well understood and have been documented in prior technical literature, so that the problems now being addressed are often the difficult and complex questions. Nearly every paper here addresses an unproven material or manufacturing process or a set of severe service conditions that requires very careful testing or analysis. To the extent that the problems and solutions are complex, this Symposium and its papers are intended for those who have some experience with the field of fatigue and fracture. Nevertheless, the introductory and reference materials contained in the papers can be used by those with less experience to gain some understanding of subtopics within the overall field. In addition, the three keynote papers and the many papers dealing with industrial applications will also be useful for those with limited experience in fatigue and fracture. Separate abstracts were prepared for most papers in this volume.
