Fatigue and Fracture
Explore ASM resources on fatigue and fracture analysis and prevention
Atlas of Fatigue Curves
Contains more than 500 fatigue curves for industrial ferrous and nonferrous alloys. Also includes a thorough explanation of fatigue testing and interpretation of test results. Each curve is presented independently and includes an explanation of its particular importance.

Decoding Mechanical Failures: The Definitive Guide to Interpreting Fractures
The fracture surface of a broken part is a recording of how and why it failed – it just needs to be decoded. This well-illustrated book introduces how to interpret fatigue, brittle and ductile fracture features of steel parts. It demonstrates how to visually diagnose each of these failure modes and explains how that information can be used to determine the root cause of failure.

Fatigue and Fracture: Understanding the Basics
This book emphasizes the physical and practical aspects of fatigue and fracture. It covers mechanical properties of materials, differences between ductile and brittle fractures, fracture mechanics, the basics of fatigue, structural joints, high temperature failures, wear, environmentally-induced failures, and steps in the failure analysis process.

Mechanics and Mechanisms of Fracture: An Introduction
This text is for readers who want an introductory overview on the mechanical and material factors of fracture in design analysis, material evaluation, and failure prevention. Both fundamental and practical concepts of fracture are described in terms of stress analysis and the mechanical behavior of materials. The metallurgical aspects of deformation and fracture in metals are also discussed.

ASM Handbook, Volume 19: Fatigue and Fracture
Volume 19 is a resource for basic concepts, alloy property data, and the testing and analysis methods used to characterize fatigue and fracture behavior of structural materials. Contents include fatigue mechanisms, crack growth and testing; fatigue strength prediction and analysis; fracture mechanics, damage tolerance, and life assessment; environmental effects; and fatigue and fracture resistance of ferrous, nonferrous, and nonmetallic structural materials.
