Written by a leading researcher in the field, this revised and updated second edition of a highly successful book provides an authoritative, comprehensive and unified treatment of the mechanics and micromechanisms of fatigue in metals, non-metals and composites. The author discusses the principles of cyclic deformation, crack initiation and crack growth by fatigue, covering both microscopic and continuum aspects. The book begins with discussions of cyclic deformation and fatigue crack initiation in monocrystalline and polycrystalline ductile alloys as well as in brittle and semi-/non-crystalline solids. Total life and damage-tolerant approaches are then introduced in metals, non-metals and composites followed by more advanced topics. The book includes an extensive bibliography and a problem set for each chapter, together with worked-out example problems and case studies. This will be an important reference for anyone studying fracture and fatigue in materials science and engineering, mechanical, civil, nuclear and aerospace engineering, and biomechanics.

Reviews & endorsements
'… the second edition is even better, as it has been expanded with coverage of new topics, and includes worked examples, case studies of fatigue failures and applications in life prediction, as well as sample problems at the end of sections … an excellent textbook for practising engineers … This is a highly recommended book which would now be a useful introductory reference across the whole spectrum of researchers and engineers working on fatigue problems and life prediction.' Neil James, International Journal of Fatigue
