The Stress Analysis of Cracks Handbook

In a convenient hardcover format this extensive source of crack stress analysis has been brought up–to–date with the addition of 150 new pages of analysis and information. The book is an excellent reference, as well as a text for in–house training courses, in various industrial and academic settings.
