Fracture Mechanics Applications and Challenges Invited Papers Presented at the 13th European Conference on Fracture

This book contains 15 fully peer-reviewed Invited Papers which were presented at the 13 th Biennial European Conference on Fracture and is a companion to the CD-ROM http://www.elsevier.com/locate/isbn/008043701x Proceedings . The organisers of the ECF 13 opted from the very beginning for an application-orientated conference, and consequently, this book contributes to the understanding of fracture phenomena, and disseminates fracture concepts and their application to the solution of engineering problems to practitioners in a wide range of fields. The fields covered in this book can be broadly classified into: elastic-plastic fracture mechanics, fracture dynamics, fatigue and interactive processes, failure, structural integrity, coatings and materials, with applications to the following industrial sectors: transport, aerospace engineering, civil engineering, pipelines and automotive engineering.Fuentes, M. is the author of 'Fracture Mechanics Applications and Challenges Invited Papers Presented at the 13th European Conference on Fracture' with ISBN 9780080436999 and ISBN 0080436994.
