For twenty years, Metal Fatigue in Engineering has served as an important textbook and reference for students and practicing engineers concerned with the design, development, and failure analysis of components, structures, and vehicles subjected to repeated loading.
Now this generously revised and expanded edition retains the best features of the original while bringing it up to date with the latest developments in the field.
Due to increasing demands on energy sources, the exploration and development of new hydrocarbon resources has been pushed to frontier regions and harsh environments, such as arctic permafrost terrains and offshore ice environments. Pipelines buried in such cold regions are subjected to large loadings which could result in pipeline being subjected to significant magnitudes of stresses and strains, in some cases beyond the original design limit. Due to these combinations loading, pipelines may experience localized deformation, known as local buckling, pushing the material's response well into...
