Fundamentals of Fatigue Fracture (eBook, ePUB)

Collective Works in the Memory of Prof. Mohan Ranganathan

Produktbeschreibung

This book is written in memory of the late Prof. Mohan Narayanaswami Ranganathan, University of Tours, France, whose contributions to the fields of materials science, engineering, and fatigue have inspired generations of researchers. He had an unrelenting intellectual curiosity and a unique way of looking at things and drawing in knowledge from different areas to provide an entirely different perspective. When a given path seemed untraversable, he always managed to maneuver with his charm, charisma, and optimistic point of view. When Prof. Ranganathan passed away in 2022, he was in the process of writing this book. So, 13 of his colleagues and friends decided to complete it in his memory and honour his legacy by advancing the understanding of various fundamental aspects of fatigue and fracture in materials.

The book is a collective effort of world-renowned experts, some of whom were mentored by Prof. Ranganathan in the early stages of their careers. It comprises 11 chapters that focus on in-service failure analysis and fundamental fatigue data, fundamental fatigue crack propagation analysis, fundamental multiaxial fatigue analysis, and the effect of environment, defect, fundamental physics, and very high cycle loadings on fatigue failure. The book integrates experimental insights with theoretical frameworks and is a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and students engaged in materials science, mechanical engineering, fatigue, and related disciplines.

Autorenporträt

Yves Nadot is a full professor at Institut P' ISAE-ENSMA Poitiers, France, since 2010. He earned his PhD on "High cycle fatigue life of nodular casting iron" in 1997 from the University of Poitiers and was supervised by Prof. M. Ranganathan and Prof. J. Mendez during his research. He started to work in the field of "fatigue from defect," beginning from Prof. J. Petit's laboratory. He leads the research group "Damage and Physics/Mechanics of Materials" and is an active contributor to the research on the defect-induced fatigue process. He has also worked on industrial collaboration projects with Safran, Zodiac Aerospace, Renault, Airbus, Knorr-Bremse, SNCF, Rolls-Royce, and MTU.
