| dc.description | For a period of 20 years I have been working in the Structures and Materials
Division of the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR in Amsterdam and
in the North-Eastpolder, and for another 20 years in the Structures and
Materials Laboratory of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of the Delft
University of Technology until my formal retirement. In both laboratories it
was a cooperation with many people in a stimulating atmosphere. It is great
to carry out investigations with colleagues and technicians who understand
the essence of the fatigue experiments and microscopical examinations,
too many to mention all their names. But I will make a single exception
for Frans Oosterom for the indispensable assistance with microscopy and
photography. It was also very stimulating to work together with many
undergraduate and post-graduate students, eager to arrive at answers for
unsolved questions. We shared various challenges, and at the same time a
kind of a family relationship. Thanks to my successors, this continued after
my retirement, first through professor Boud Vogelesang, afterwards the late
professor Ad Vlot who most regretfully died young, and at the moment
professor Rinze Benedictus. All three were fine colleagues always available
for discussion. Informal brainstorming with many people was often the elixir
of new ideas and progress | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Fatigue of structures and materials covers a wide scope of different topics.
The purpose of the present book is to explain these topics, to indicate
how they can be analyzed, and how this can contribute to the designing
of fatigue resistant structures and to prevent structural fatigue problems in
service.
Chapter 1 gives a general survey of the topic with brief comments on
the significance of the aspects involved. This serves as a kind of a program
for the following chapters. The central issues in this book are predictions
of fatigue properties and designing against fatigue. These objectives cannot
be realized without a physical and mechanical understanding of all relevant
conditions. In Chapter 2 the book starts with basic concepts of what happens
in the material of a structure under cyclic loads. It illustrates the large
number of variables which can affect fatigue properties and it provides the
essential background knowledge for subsequent chapters. Different subjects
are presented in the following main parts: | en_US |
