Zusatztext "This handy volume of service failures is a readable document that can serve as a useful tutor to acolytes in the field of service failure analysis and as a helpful reference for the experienced materials engineer." -From the Foreword by Prof. P. Rama Rao, Former Secretary, Department of Science and Technology, Government of India "…presents the material treated in a clear and systematic matter…includes a plethora of micrographs and pictures of components in order to present the material described, and help readers acquire a better grasp of microstructural anomalies and fracture features… A collection of data in aeronautical failure analysis has been scarce in the technical literature, and in this regard the book provides a unique tool…the author has succeeded greatly in helping us improve our ability to analyze component failures." -Anti-Corrosion Methods and Materials, Vol. 52, Issue 4, 2005 "Venugopal Reddy proves that failure analysis is an absorbing exercise demanding depth and breadth in materials science and engineering. The author shows this through a compilation of personal investigative case studies, as well as a summary of the required knowledge and resources to be able to play in the field of failure analysis. …The book is well organized, thoughtfully written, and easy to follow." -JOM On-line, Sept 6, 2005 Informationen zum Autor Reddy\! A. Venugopal Klappentext Investigation of Aeronautical and Engineering Component Failures will be valuable to the entire aeronautical community. It presents a study of the failure analysis of metallic components with an emphasis on aerospace/aeronautical components-topics on which there has previously been very little available data. The author pays special attention to the methodology of failure analysis! the various tools and techniques employed for identifying the cause of failure! as well as the presentation of real-world case studies. It includes 37 case histories for examination! complimented by photo micrographs and fractographs that help readers acquire a better grasp of microstructural anomalies and fracture features. Zusammenfassung Offers a systematic presentation of the principles, tools, and techniques of failure analysis and their use in identifying the root cause of a failure. This book presents the technical intricacies of failure analysis, including fracture feature analysis, and important aspects of component design and material selection.
