Fatigue Design

Fatigue Design: Life Expectancy of Machine Parts, 1st Edition, presents methods for solving fatigue problems and supporting the optimal design of mechanical components. The volume combines theoretical foundations with practical illustrations of component behavior.

The text connects the principles of solid mechanics, fatigue analysis, and crack propagation. It addresses fundamental concepts before moving into multiaxial nonlinear problems, while also reviewing risks that emerge from production processes and environmental exposure.

Intended for practicing design engineers and engineering students, the book uses the finite element method for numerical analysis and draws on case studies to provide preventive failure guidelines.
