Atlas of Material Damage e-bog

Atlas of Material Damage, Third Edition provides a systematic analysis of modes of damage and morphology of damaged material and compares the experiences of different industries to provide insights into the most frequently encountered failures, reasons for these failures, and potential improvements to prevent future failure. The book covers defect formation, material damage, and how structure of materials impacts designed function. The effects of composition, processing conditions, and singular and combined actions of different degradants on industrial products are discussed at length. Technological steps required to obtain specifically designed morphology for specific performance are outlined, and numerous examples of how this special morphology can be achieved and deployed in electronics, plastics, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, automotive, medical, dental and a range of other fields and applications is also covered. Analyzes modes of damage, morphology of damaged material, and the effects of composition, morphological features, and structure of materials on material performance, durability and resilience Provides numerous examples on how optimal material structure and morphology can be achieved in a variety of different applications Compares frequently encountered failure scenarios, their causes and ways to avoid them
