Reliability Assessment of Cyclically Loaded Engineering Structures

by Roderick Smith, R a Smith (Editor), R a Smith (Other)

Overview

This book contains 16 papers dealing with the failure of structures and components subjected to cyclic loading, ranging from detailed theoretical analyses of particular topics to very broad surveys of particular applications. The different approaches taken by scientists from the East and the West are apparent. A useful and timely survey of the topic, containing well-referenced and detailed information for researchers in universities and industry.

Editorial Reviews

These 16 papers from the June 1996 conference on fatigue in cyclically loaded structures reflect the more theoretical and mathematical approaches developed in the East, and the more practical, pragmatic methods of the West. Topics include the interaction of wear and rolling contact fatigue; reliability assessment of randomly loaded critical components; fitness for purpose assessment of structural integrity; and part-through cracked structures under cyclic loading.
