Handbook of Materials Failure Analysis with Case Studies from the Construction Industries: Volume 6

Handbook of Materials Failure Analysis with Case Studies from the Construction Industry: Volume 6 provides a thorough understanding of the reasons materials fail in certain situations, covering important scenarios including material defects, mechanical failure as a result of various causes and improper material selection. The book begins with a general overview of materials failure analysis and its importance, and then logically proceeds from a discussion of the failure analysis process, types of failure analysis and specific tools and techniques, to chapters on analysis of materials failure from various causes. The book covers the most common types of materials failure, analysis, and provides possible solutions. Failure can occur for several reasons: materials defects-related failure; materials design-related failure; or corrosion-related failures. The suitability of the materials to work in a definite environment is an important issue. The results of these failures can be catastrophic in the worst case scenarios, causing loss of life. Provides the most up-to-date and balanced coverage of failure analysis, combining foundational knowledge, current research on the latest developments and innovations in the fieldOffers an ideal accompaniment for those interested in materials forensic investigation, failure of materials, static failure analysis, dynamic failure analysis and fatigue life predictionPresents compelling new case studies from key industries to demonstrate concepts and to assist users in avoiding costly errors that could result in catastrophic events INDICE: Part I: Basics and Introduction to Failure Analysis 1.
