Structural Damage, Fatigue and Fracture

This refereed research and technical book series aims to promote scientific issues associated with damage, fatigue and fracture phenomena applied to all kind of materials, structural components, and structures, as well as their engineering practical applications. It focuses on issues related with damage, fatigue, fracture, fatigue crack growth, creep, impact, creep-fatigue, corrosion-fatigue, high temperature fatigue, environmental assisted fatigue, plasticity and other physical phenomena, supported by experimental observations, analytical and numerical simulations, computer-aided design, probabilistic modelling, reliability analysis, and data-science methods. It covers the study of the damage, fatigue, and fracture phenomena of materials, structural components, and structures of a wide range of infrastructures, such as engineering technical systems, transportation systems, bridges, buildings, dams, railways, underground constructions, wind and transmission towers, offshore platforms, pipelines, naval vessels, oceanic structures, nuclear power plants, airplanes and other types of structures, including aerospace and automotive structures.
