Contents:
Mechanical Properties of Materials -- Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics -- Delayed Fracture in Brittle Solids -- Statistics of Brittle Fracture -- Elastic Indentation Stress Fields -- Elastic Contact -- Hertzian Fracture -- Elastic-Plastic Indentation Stress Fields -- Hardness -- Elastic and Elastic-Plastic Contact -- Depth-Sensing Indentation Testing -- Indentation Test Methods.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: Introduction to Contact Mechanics, Second Edition is a gentle introduction to the mechanics of solid bodies in contact for graduate students, post doctoral individuals, and the beginning researcher. This second edition maintains the introductory character of the first with a focus on materials science as distinct from straight solid mechanics theory. Every chapter has been updated to make the book easier to read and more informative. A new chapter on depth sensing indentation has been added, and the contents of the other chapters have been completely overhauled with added figures, formulae and explanations. The author begins with an introduction to the mechanical properties of materials, general fracture mechanics and the fracture of brittle solids. This is followed by a detailed description of indentation stress fields for both elastic and elastic-plastic contact. The discussion then turns to the formation of Hertzian cone cracks in brittle materials, subsurface damage in ductile materials, and the meaning of hardness. The author concludes with an overview of practical methods of indentation.
