This book focuses on the mechanisms and underlying mechanics
of failure in various classes of materials such as metallic,
ceramic, polymeric, composite and bio-material. Topics
include tensile and compressive fracture, crack initiation and
growth, fatigue and creep rupture in metallic materials, matrix
cracking and delamination and environmental degradation in
polymeric composites, failure of bio-materials such as prosthetic
heart valves and prosthetic hip joints, failure of ceramics and
ceramic matrix composites, failure of metallic matrix composites,
static and dynamic buckling failure, dynamic excitations and creep
buckling failure in structural systems. Chapters are devoted
to failure mechanisms that are characteristic of each of the
materials.

The work also provides the basic elements of fracture
mechanics and studies in detail several niche topics such as the
effects of toughness gradients, variable amplitude loading effects
in fatigue, small fatigue cracks, and creep induced brittleness.
Furthermore, the book reviews a large number of experimental
results on these failure mechanisms.

The book will benefit structural and materials engineers and
researchers seeking a “birds-eye” view of possible failure
mechanisms in structures along with the associated failure and
structural mechanics.
