Takayuki Kitamura

High Temperature Fracture Mechanics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book systematically explains the mechanics of fracture phenomena, focusing on cracking under high temperature conditions. One of the defining characteristics of high temperature fracture is creep, a phenomenon where deformation progresses over time, eventually leading to failure.
