Gain an understanding of the fretting fatigue phenomenon and for developing fretting fatigue design. Fretting is well known to degrade fatigue strength significantly. Fretting fatigue failure has been increasingly disclosed in service components because those components have suffered more severe loading conditions than before due to the demands of save-energy and environment-preservation.
Twenty-nine peer-reviewed papers cover:
Fretting in Steel Ropes and Cable - reviews the topic.
Fretting Wear and Crack Nucleation - covers the process of fretting crack nucleation under fretting wear through both detailed in-situ observations and mechanical models, which included not only fracture mechanics but also interface mechanics.
Fretting Fatigue Crack and Damage - discusses fretting fatigue crack propagation under mixed mode, based on the fracture mechanics approach.
Life Prediction - addresses fretting fatigue life estimations, based on various approaches including fracture mechanics, notch fatigue analysis and multiaxial fatigue parameters.
Fretting Fatigue Parameter Effects - covers effects of parameters that influence fretting fatigue behavior and strength, including contact pressure, friction coefficient, contact pad geometry, and mating material.
Loading Condition and Environment - addresses the effect of loading conditions including block loading, high frequency and service loading.
Titanium Alloys - discusses titanium alloys, which have been typically used for structural components suffering fretting fatigue, such as turbine components and bio-joints, due to their lightweight as well as excellent corrosion resistance.
Surface Treatment - deals with improvements of fretting fatigue strength by using coating techniques.
Case Studies and Applications - introduces case studies on electrical cables, dovetail joints, pin joints and rollers.
This volume is a valuable resource for engineers that need to develop an understanding of fretting fatigue and also serves the fretting fatigue community including both newcomers and those that have been involved for some time.

Forum - The forum is the whole installation, and usually contains multiple boards.
Board - A board contains topics, which in turn contain the posts. Boards can be private, so they are only visible to admins, moderators and members. Boards can be read-only, so they only allow posts by admins. Users can subscribe to a board, which means they will get all new posts in that board in one daily email.
Topic/Thread - A topic, otherwise known as thread, contains all the posts on a specific subtopic, that should be named in the topic's subject. Boards have an expiration value that determines after how many days its topics will expire after their last post has been made. An important topic can be set to "protected", so that it never expires. Admins and moderators can lock a topic, so that no new posts can be made to it.
- Normal Thread
- Important Thread
Post - A post is a single public message by a user. It can be either a first post, which starts a new topic, or a reply to an existing topic. Posts can be edited and deleted after posting.
presence of new posts can be identified as follows.
User - A user is anyone who registers an account in the forum. Everyone needs to register to write in the forum, anonymous posting is not possible. However, there is no need for an account just for reading. Users can be granted membership status to selected boards, enabling them to see and post in private boards.
In our forum User Categories are Newbies, Junior Members, Members, VIP users.
Forum Administrator - A forum admin can control and edit everything in the forum. A forum can have multiple forum admins.
Board Moderator - A board moderator's powers are limited to the boards he is admin of. A board moderators can edit, delete posts by normal users, mark topics as protected or locked, and delete topics. A board can have multiple moderators.
Users, Moderators, And Admin Can be easily identified by their legends in our forum.
Markup Tags and Smileys:
Markup Tags:
Generally used markup tags are shown here.
(Note: these are the most common markup tags used in all the forums. They can be disabled by forum Admin/Moderators for security reason. so, some of them are not working for our forum.)
Smileys:
Smileys (or Smilies, Graemlins, Emotions) are small graphical images that can be used to convey an emotion or feeling. Let's face it, sometimes words alone do not suffice. Adding a winking smilie, for instance, may help you clarify that you are joking. Use your smilies sparingly, though-- if overused, smilies can be downright annoying. The following emoticons are displayed as images:
Note: Some of the points I have posted here to guide newbies. All of the forum user are requested to post the thing which can be useful to newbies.

Rebecca Aldridge, "The Hoover Dam (Building America: Then and Now)"
Chelsea House Publications | 2009-01-30 | ISBN: 1604130695 | 119 pages | PDF | 14.2 MB
The Hoover Dam is recognized as one of the seven engineering wonders of the modern world. The construction of this behemoth dam - the inspiration of one Arthur Powell Davis - was an incredible feat on many levels. Years-long political disputes had to be settled. Individuals and companies in the engineering and construction realms had to bond together to form a single company capable of taking on such a groundbreaking project. Thousands of workers from around the country flocked to the project to flee the poverty of the Great Depression. Roads, houses, and electricity had to be built and installed in the untouched environment of Black Canyon. Then, with almost unbelievable speed, the Hoover Dam rose from the dry dust of the western United States to become one of the most incredible engineering accomplishments in history.

Forensic Engineering: Kenneth L. Carper, Second Edition
info:
Book Description:
The first edition of this book (published in 1989) is the first comprehensive overview of forensic activity and failure investigation in engineering. According to Forensic Engineering, The International Journal, that edition distinguished forensic engineering as a specialty field within the discipline of engineering. This new edition updates the original work with new case studies and investigative techniques. Contributors to the book are the foremost authorities in each area of specialization. The book also analyzes the role of the forensic engineer in the evolving methods of alternate dispute resolution.

Organic Materials in Civil Engineering
Publisher: ISTE Publishing | Pages: 320 | 2008-02-04 | ISBN 1905209118 | PDF | 3 MB
This book provides an inventory of organic materials and products, the major components of all civil engineering projects, in terms of their scientific and technical background, including the regulations that cover their use and their predicted useful life.
Such materials include: bitumen on the roads; geotextiles for retaining walls; membranes for bridges; tunnel and reservoir waterproofing; paint binders to protect metallic and concrete structures or to create road markings; injection resins; gluing products; concrete admixtures; and composite materials.
The presentation is based on a physicochemical approach, which is essential if these products are to be considered as part of sustainable development: as such, those studying or working in these fields will find this an invaluable source of information

A. Barrie Pittock "Climate Change : Turning Up the Heat"
Published by CSIRO Publishing | Publication date : October 2005 | ISBN : 0643069313 | PDF | 329 pages | English | 5.5 MB
Climate Change: Turning up the Heat explains how our attitudes toward risk and uncertainty - constant companions in life - influence our decision-making and, ultimately, how much we and future generations stand to lose from rapid climate change. It outlines the current concerns of the major international players and reviews the response to date, detailing national interests. Importantly, it shows there is real hope of managing climate change and minimizing the risk of disaster if we step up efforts to develop and apply innovative technological and policy solutions.
Barrie Pittock, one of the world's leading climate researchers, argues that we need to act urgently to avoid increasingly severe climate change. This timely book sorts fact from fiction as the author examines the arguments surrounding the reality of climate change and the divergent views of greenhouse skeptics and doom-and-gloom alarmists.
Pittock looks at the controversy around global warming and other predicted changes, especially:
• The scientific basis of the changes observed to date
• How they relate to natural variations
• Why the evidence points to larger changes later this century
