Download or read book Proceedings of ICF International Symposium on Fracture Mechanics (Beijing) written by and published by VSP. This book was released on 1983-12 with total page 1132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains 132 selected papers presented at the Symposium which will be held on November 22-25, 1983 in Beijing and is the first of international symposia on fracture mechanics held in China. In this volume one may find the contributions of many internationally well known scientists and engineers is the field of fracture mechanics. Among the 132 papers from 12 countries and regions, 16 are invited lectures which were specially chosen to cover major trends in fracture mechanics and were prepared by specialists actively engaged on the respective subjects. All papers are grouped under the 6 headings, that is, 1. Elastic and elastic-plastic fracture mechanics; 2. Applications of fracture mechanics; 3. Test methods; 4. Fatigue; 5. Fracture models and micro-mechanisms and 6. Fracture of non-metals. 70 papers are from Chinese contributors. It is the first time that Chinese scientists and engineers working on this field presented their studies to the outside world in such a large number and wide range of topics. Anyone interested in fracture mechanics may find in this volume the recent advances in this field. Anyone interested in the development in China may find in this volume the state of the art of fracture mechanics studies in China. This proceedings may serve also as a reference book for engineers, applied mathematicians, metallurgists, physicists and other scientists, as well as graduate students and undergraduate students. There are approximately 1,100 pages.
