{"product_id":"9780081011614","title":"Brittle Fracture and Damage of Brittle Materials and Composites: Statistical-Probabilistic Approaches","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlaws are the principal source of fracture in many materials, whether brittle or ductile, whether nearly homogeneous or composite. They are introduced during either fabrication or surface preparation or during exposure to aggressive environments (e. g. oxidation, shocks). The critical flaws act as stress concentrators and initiate cracks that propagate instantaneously to failure in the absence of crack arrest phenomena as encountered in brittle materials. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book explores those brittle materials susceptible to crack arrest and the flaws which initiate crack induced damage. A detailed description of microstructural features covering numerous brittle materials, including ceramics, glass, concrete, metals, polymers and ceramic fibers to help you develop your knowledge of material fracture. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrittle Failure and Damage of Brittle Materials and Composites\u003c\/i\u003e outlines the technological progress in this field and the need for reliable systems with high performances to help you advance the development of new structural materials, creating advantages of low density, high resistance to elevated temperatures and aggressive environments, and good mechanical properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe effects of flaw populations on fracture strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe main statistical-probabilistic approaches to brittle fracture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe use of these methods for predictions of failure and effects induced by flaw populations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe application of these methods to component design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe methods of estimation of statistical parameters that define flaw strength distributions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe extension of these approaches to damage and failure of continuous fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077057003760,"sku":"9780081011614","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780081011614_p0.jpg?v=1763638536","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780081011614","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
