Covers the composition, properties, and applications of aluminum alloys, including mechanical properties of heat-treatable and work-hardened alloys, and structural light alloys like aluminum, magnesium, and titanium.
Explores failure mechanisms in MEMS, covering design, manufacturing, and in-use failures, emphasizing reliability considerations and mitigation strategies for mechanical shock and vibration resistance.
Explores fracture mechanics, crack growth, and the weakest link theory, emphasizing the statistical distribution of crack sizes and the significance of the largest crack in material failure.
