Description
This text comprises 36 case studies describing the analysis of real engineering failures which have been selected from the first three volumes of "Engineering Failure Analysis". The case studies are arranged in sections, with the papers in each section being devoted to one specific type of failure mechanism. The failure mechanisms covered are overload, brittle fracture, fatigue (initiation-based), fatigue (welded fabrications), fatigue (fracture mechanics), environmental attack, environmentally-assisted cracking, manufacturing failures and bearing failures.
