Summary:

Provides a practical source of information on fracture-mechanics-based analytical methods for life assessment and damage tolerance design/analysis. Fundamental and metallurgical aspects of fatigue crack growth and fracture are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the stress analysis aspects of problem solving. Most of the discussion concerns aircraft structures, although methods are equally applicable to other types of metallic structures and machinery. Useful as a reference for engineers and students.
