Covers a wide range of topics in fracture mechanics. It presents historical perspectives as well as recent innovative developments, presented by peer reviewed contributions from world-wide authors and field specialists. The volume deals with the modeling of fracture and damage in smart materials, current industrial applications of fracture mechanics, and it explores advances in fracture testing methods. Reliability and risk analysis methods and applications for structural systems and components of power plants are explored in this volume. Related practical issues, including the reliability of non-destructive inspection (NDI) and the considerations of targeting maintenance resources, are also discussed. In addition, the book presents mathematical and computational methods underlying the fracture mechanics applications, and also developments in statistical modeling of fatigue. This volume will be useful, effective, and beneficial to mechanical engineers, civil engineers, and material scientists from industry and research.
