Influence of fatigue crack growth on the dynamics of engineering components and structures

Despite of the fact that engineering components and structures are carefully designed against fatigue failures, 50 - 90 percent of all mechanical failures are due to fatigue. Cracks can exist as a consequence of deep machining marks and voids in welds during the manufacturing processes, and metallur...
