This textbook, suitable for students, researchers and engineers, gathers the experience of more than 20 years of teaching fracture mechanics, fatigue and corrosion to professional engineers and running experimental tests and verifications to solve practical problems in engineering applications. As such, it is a comprehensive blend of fundamental knowledge and technical tools to address the issues of fatigue and corrosion. The book initiates with a systematic description of fatigue from a phenomenological point of view, since the early signs of submicroscopic damage in few surface grains and continues describing, step by step, how these precursors develop to become mechanically small cracks a...
Thirty-six papers from the July 1998 Conference treat two independent subjects, namely severe accidents and topics in the NESC Project, both related to the safety issues of nuclear power plants. Topics include steam explosion/hydrogen deflagration and fast reactor core problems; modelling creep behaviour; reactor pressure vessel and piping behaviour under severe accident conditions; integrity of containment structures under severe accident conditions; introduction to NESC; pre-test structural assessment; and the spinning cylinder test. Contains an author index but no subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
