DESCRIPTION:
A very interesting book in which the fractography approach is José Benedito Marcomini A very interesting book in which the fractography approach is based on physical metallurgy concepts.. "A technical book with soul" according to Pacelli Torres. It is not easy to find engineering books with soul. For a book to have a soul, the author should know deeply what he writes about and feel and transmit in a clear way the beauty of his knowledge.This is a complete treatise on fractography that can be applied to any material, and used in different fields of Enginnering and Science. It presents the ideas on several levels of depth. The text is supported by v. "Examining the pieces" according to Dr. P. R. Lewis. This book describes the methods of studying fracture surfaces, from simple examination with a hand lens to optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. There is a great deal of analysis of pictures of fractures, mainly of test samples, in the work, largely directed at understanding the role of crazing in polymers. Most of the analysis is directed at rigid thermoplastics like PMMA and polystyrene, o
The illustrations are exemplary, and beautifully reproduced Lectures based on the book should engage the enthusiastic attention of every student of materials science, whether a graduate student or not By virtue of its elegant exposition, and the integrity of its point of view, I believe that wherever fracture, fast or slow, of whatever material, is a topic of interest, Hull's book will be an essential reference. and many scientists will be pleased to display it on their coffee-tables, alongside other equally elegant but much less profound works. Every page reveals first-hand experience. It is a classic.” Contemporary Physics . "This book is an attractive one containing nice fractographs and clear illustrations.It is well organized and covers the very basic fundamentals working up to a very detailed and co
Fractography describes the ways of studying these surfaces. Fracture surfaces are produced when a solid breaks. It also provides details on how to design clear and unambiguous experiments that involve many aspects of fracture in a wide range of solids. The appearance of the surface, particularly the topography, depends on both the type of material broken and the conditions under which it was broken, such as stress, temperature, or environment. This book is an invaluable resource for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers, industrial scientists, engineers, and anyone with an interest in materials science.. Coverage includes all the information needed to understand the deformation and fracture in all types of solids and to interpret the topographical features in terms of the microstructure and the way it was tested
