Virtual testing and predictive modeling: fatigue and fracture mechanics allowables

Virtual Testing and Predictive Modeling: Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics Allowables provides an overview of cost and time efficient methods in measuring thequality of industrial structural parts. Readers will find a systematic introduction to virtual testing to generate fatigue and fracture allowables through two useful techniques: the conventional continuum mechanics approach, and the utilization of multiscale modeling and simulation techniques to predict materials’ properties. A chapter devoted to the functionalization process covers thecurrent approach to this technique, which strengthens interface durability through bonding dissimilar materials. Coverage of verification methods, used with devices such as the Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), are also described, which motivate discussion of the fundamental structure and deformation processes of nanoscale materials.
