Download or read book Plasticity, Failure and Fatigue in Structural Materials-from Macro to Nano written by Hsia and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains papers from the symposium held to honor Professor Hael Mughrabi, who devoted 40 years of research to the mechanical behavior of materials. In particular, Professor Mughrabi performed fundamental studies on the mechanisms of plastic deformation and fatigue based on dislocation mechanics. Readers of this book will find research development in deformation and fatigue including very high cycle fatigue of advanced engineering materials. Particular emphasis is given to mechanical properties of nanomaterials, and to the behavior and processes at the nanoscale in engineering materials. Specific subjects include deformation and fracture mechanisms; single crystals; mathematical modeling; cyclic, static and dynamic loading; and damage evolution.
