Metal Fatigue in Engineering
Second Edition
For twenty years, Metal Fatigue in Engineering has served as an important textbook and reference for students and practicing engineers concerned with the design, development, and failure analysis of components, structures, and vehicles subjected to repeated loading.
Now this generously revised and expanded edition retains the best features of the original while bringing it up to date with the latest developments in the field.
As with the First Edition, this book focuses on applied engineering design, with a view to producing products that are safe, reliable, and economical. It offers in–depth coverage of today′s most common analytical methods of fatigue design and fatigue life predictions/estimations for metals. Contents are arranged logically, moving from simple to more complex fatigue loading and conditions. Throughout the book, there is a full range of helpful learning aids, including worked examples and hundreds of problems, references, and figures as well as chapter summaries and "design do′s and don′ts" sections to help speed and reinforce understanding of the material.
The Second Edition contains a vast amount of new information, including:
∗ Enhanced coverage of micro/macro fatigue mechanisms, notch strain analysis, fatigue crack growth at notches, residual stresses, digital prototyping, and fatigue design of weldments
∗ Nonproportional loading and critical plane approaches for multiaxial fatigue
∗ A new chapter on statistical aspects of fatigue

Format:Hardcover
This is an excellent book about metal fatigue seen from an engineers perspective. If you want a no nonsense presentation which moves straight on to how you should solve your problem - then this is the book for you.
The balance between words and equations is perfect with no excessive use of equations you don't need in the end. Furthermore, the reference to other sources of text shows that the book is up to date.

Great overview with engineering data!
5 May 2003
Format:Hardcover
If there is a single book on *just* metal fatigue for your shelf, this is it. The treatment of material is rigorous without being too terse or long-winded. There's an enjoyable amount of real-world experience mixed in with the text: bits of highly relevant distilled information. Plus, there is data in the appendix that is difficult to find elsewhere (aluminum, etc).

An Overview Sort of Text
8 Feb 2003
Format:Hardcover
There are a number of texts in this field. This one is by authors whose professional reputations are top notch. However, this book's strengths lie in their qualitative approach. It is a very good book for a short course, and introduction or overview, but for a graduate text I feel it falls short in that it is lacking in mathematics and too qualitative. That said, the illustrations of specific
types of fatigue are terrific. The thought process they use to think through a fatigue problem is very appropriate and a great approach to most problems. If you do forensics of fatigue
problems you want to create for yourself a catalog of failure modes photos and this shows you how to start. With great examples of a number of different types of failures.

Alternative texts for a more quantitative approach that I would
recommend, are Bannantine's and Comer's books for undergraduate
engineering students, or Norman Dowling's book for graduate students.
Still, I own the book and am glad I do. So I give it 3.5 stars.

Excellent Textbook
4 July 2009
Format:Hardcover
This is an excellent textbook. It covers all of the basic aspects of metal fatigue and some topics that are left out of elementary texts; for instance, environmental effects, the fatigue of weldments and the statistical aspects of fatigue. The book begins with an excellent historical review of the subject, which contains capsule biographies of some of the most important contributors to the field. Both the stress and strain life approaches are covered, as are, crack nucleation and growth, the fatigue in notches, and variable amplitude loading. While the book is not primarily a source for fatigue data, it does contain some specific data. This book is not as detailed or comprehensive as Suresh's Fatigue of Materials, but it is, in my opinion, a much better choice as a textbook for use in a course (advanced undergraduate or graduate) on metal fatigue or as part of a course on the mechanical properties of materials. In fact, in my opinion it is currently the best choice as a textbook on the subject of fatigue.
