Understanding how components fail. 2nd edition
If you are involved with failure analysis, this is truly the basic book you need. Basic principles are explained with examples using common metals and common types of parts. This book is intended primarily for use by those who have little or no knowledge of the principles of metallurgical failures. The many sketches, analogies, photographs, and examples presented make complex metallurgical subjects easy to understand. Contents include: techniques of failure analysis; distortion failure; basic single-load fracture modes; stress systems related to single-load fracture of ductile and brittle metals; mechanical properties; stress vs. strength; residual stresses; brittle fracture; ductile fracture; fatigue fracture; wear; corrosion failure; high-temperature failure; and fracture mechanics.
