The industry's most significant demand is to produce a component from hardened work piece material with reasonable dimensional tolerance and surface quality. Owing to the successful metal removal, improved surface quality, and dimensional precision, the turning of hardened steel (beyond HRC 45) within a dry environment has acknowledged significant interest as compared to conventional grinding. The hard turning within a dry environment is one of the suitable metal removal methods to control the machining constraints viz. environmental pollution and turning cost. This book provides an in-depth...

This book presents a comprehensive and practical exploration of fatigue crack propagation in single-edge-notched (SEN) beams through the application of an exponential modelling framework. Designed for researchers, engineers, and advanced students, it bridges fundamental fracture mechanics with modern predictive methodologies for evaluating fatigue life. The text offers clear theoretical insights, validated analytical models, and illustrative case studies that demonstrate the accuracy and usefulness of exponential crack growth laws in structural assessment. By combining scientific rigor with...
