From a November 1995 symposium in Norfolk, Virginia 11 papers report on how computers are playing an ever greater role in testing for fatigue and fracture as applications have become more sophisticated and hardware smaller and more powerful over the past few years. Covering data acquisition, simulat
Provides both specific and general information regarding state-of-the art materials testing using automation technology as a means of: improving the reliability of data; eliminating the need for constant operator supervision; running tests that would be impossible without a computer; and reducing an
These volumes cover the properties, processing, and applications of metals and nonmetallic engineering materials. They are designed to provide the authoritative information and data necessary for the appropriate selection of materials to meet critical design and performance criteria.
