Yorulma ve Çatlak İlerlemesi

If we want the products we design to have a long life, which customers usually mention in terms of numbers such as 10-20 years, then the topic of “Fatigue and Damage Tolerance” is certainly one of the issues that should be addressed. I’m sure the resources I’m going to share will broaden your horizons on this topic:

A fundamental reference for understanding the theoretical background:

“Fatigue of Structures and Materials Authors: Schijve, J.”

A very useful resource that contains applications and explanations specific to the Aerospace and Defense industry:

“Practical Airframe Fatigue and Damage Tolerance Authors: Bent, Les”

The inclusion of composite materials in a wide range of structural components has caught the attention of the scientific community, forcing engineers to rethink fatigue as a dominant primary loading model, even for structures where traditional fatigue was not considered an issue (a belief that still persists among some). Accurately predicting the fatigue life for composite structural components or structures has long been critical, and there are many reasons for this. Some of these reasons are listed in the following book:
