* Failure of structures can be catastrophic and life-threatening - it is therefore among the most critical of all design topics * Fatigue and fracture result in billions of dollars of damage each year.
The design of mechanical structures with improved and predictable durability cannot be achieved without a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of fatigue damage and more specifically the relationships between the microstructure of materials and their fatigue properties.
The Extractive Metallurgy series is devoted to the extraction of metals from ores and other sources, their refining to the state of either liquid or solid metal, and the various processes needed to carry out these operations.
