English | 2002 | pages: 238 | ISBN: 1583910530, 1138883824 | PDF | 11,9 mb
In recent years, much has occurred in the field of traumatology, including the widening of the audience and the awareness of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). This book from celebrated traumatology pioneer Charles Figley, further clarifies the concept of compassion fatigue through theory, research, and treatment. The basic thesis of this book is the identification, assessment, and treatment of compassion fatigue and this is done over eleven chapters, each from distinguished researchers in the field.

Recommendations for Fatigue Design of Welded Joints and Components (3rd Edition)


Free Download Recommendations for Fatigue Design of Welded Joints and Components
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031576667 | 217 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 34 MB
This book presents an enriched exploration of structural fatigue assessment. Now in its updated form, this comprehensive edition delves into foundational principles while introducing extensive revisions and fresh content. Notable enhancements include a refined discussion on stress determination, an expanded section on fatigue resistance, also for welded thin sheets, and a thorough update of crucial chapters such as fatigue assessment using S-N curves at constant and variable amplitudes as well as practical application of fracture mechanics on fatigue of welded joints. The addition of new chapters on high-frequency mechanical impact (HFMI) treatment, insightful statistical

Fatigue under Thermal and Mechanical Loading Mechanisms, Mechanics and Modelling Proceedings of the Symposium held at Petten,


Free Download Fatigue under Thermal and Mechanical Loading: Mechanisms, Mechanics and Modelling: Proceedings of the Symposium held at Petten, The Netherlands, 22-24 May 1995 By H.-J. Christ, H. Mughrabi, S. Kraft, F. Petry, R. Zauter, K. Eckert (auth.), J. Bressers, L. Rémy, M. Steen, J. L. Vallés (eds.)
1996 | 506 Pages | ISBN: 9048146887 | PDF | 25 MB
The International Symposium "Fatigue under Thermal and Mechanical Loading", held at Petten (The Netherlands) on May 22-24, 1995, was jointly organized by the Institute for Advanced Materials of The Joint Research Centre, E. C. , and by the Societe Fran~se de Metallurgie et de Materiaux. The fast heating and cooling cycles experienced by many high temperature components cause thermally induced stresses, which often operate in combination with mechanical loads. The resulting thermal / mechanical fatigue cycle leads to material degradation mechanisms and failure modes typical of service cycles. The growing awareness that the synergism between the combined thermal and mechanical loads can not be reproduced by means of isothermal tests, has resulted in an increasing interest in thermal and thermo-mechanical fatigue testing. This trend has been reinforced by the constant pull by industry for more performant, yet safer high temperature systems, pushing the materials to the limit of their properties. Dedicated ASTM meetings in particular have set the scene for this area of research. The proceedings of the symposium organized by D. A. Spera and D. F. Mowbray in 1975 provided a reference book on thermal fatigue which reflects the knowledge and experimental capabilities of the mid-seventies.

Fatigue Neural and Muscular Mechanisms


Free Download Fatigue: Neural and Muscular Mechanisms By Brenda R. Bigland-Ritchie (auth.), Simon C. Gandevia, Roger M. Enoka, Alan J. McComas, Douglas G. Stuart, Christine K. Thomas, Patricia A. Pierce (eds.)
1995 | 542 Pages | ISBN: 1489910182 | PDF | 17 MB
This volume describes the current state of our knowledge on the neurobiology of muscle fatigue, with consideration also given to selected integrative cardiorespiratory mechanisms. Our charge to the authors of the various chapters was twofold: to provide a systematic review of the topic that could serve as a balanced reference text for practicing health-care professionals, teaching faculty, and pre-and postdoctoral trainees in the biomedi cal sciences; and to stimulate further experimental and theoretical work on neurobiology. Key issues are addressed in nine interrelated areas: fatigue of single muscle fibers, fatigue at the neuromuscular junction, fatigue of single motor units, metabolic fatigue studied with nuclear magnetic resonance, fatigue of the segmental motor system, fatigue involving suprasegmental mechanisms, the task dependency of fatigue mechanisms, integrative (largely cardiorespiratory) systems issues, and fatigue of adapted systems (due to aging, under-and overuse, and pathophysiology). The product is a volume that provides compre of processes that operate from the forebrain to the contractile proteins.

Fatigue and Fracture of Nanostructured Materials


Free Download Pasquale Cavaliere, "Fatigue and Fracture of Nanostructured Materials"
English | 2021 | pages: 436 | ISBN: 3030580903, 3030580873 | PDF | 18,0 mb
This book describes the main approaches for production and synthesis of nanostructured metals and alloys, taking into account the fatigue behavior of materials in additive manufactured components. Depending on the material type, form, and application, a deep discussion of fatigue properties and crack behavior is also provided. Pure nanostructured metals, complex alloys and composites are further considered. Prof. Cavaliere’s examination is supported by the most up-to-date understanding from the scientific literature along with a thorough presentation of theory. Bringing together the widest range of perspective on its topic, the book is ideal for materials researchers, professional engineers in industry, and students interested in nanostructured materials, fracture/fatigue mechanics, and additive manufacturing.
