Kurzbeschreibung

This book deals with the mechanics of solid bodies in contact, a subject intimately connected with such topics as fracture, hardness, and elasticity. Theoretical work is most commonly supported by the results of indentation experiments under controlled conditions. In recent years, the indentation test has become a popular method of determining mechanical properties of both brittle and ductile materials, and particularly thin film systems.The book 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 book concludes with an overview of practical methods of indentation testing. TOC:Mechanical Properties of Materials.- Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics.- Delayed Fracture in Brittle Solids.- Statistics of Brittle Fracture Chapter.- 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.

Beschreibung

Contact mechanics deals with the elastic or plastic contact between two solid objects, and is thus intimately connected with such topics as fracture, hardness, and elasticity. This text, intended for advanced undergraduates, begins with an introduction to the mechanical properties of materials, general fracture mechanics, and fractures in brittle solids. This is followed by a detailed discussion of stresses and the nature of elastic and elastic-plastic contact. The discussion then turns to a description of stress fields and their role in the formation of cracks in brittle materials and of sub-surface damage in ductile materials. The book concludes with an overview of practical methods if indentation testing. TOC:Mechanical Properties of Materials.- Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics Chapter.- Delayed Fracture in Brittle Solids Chapter.- Statistics of Brittle Fracture Chapter.- Elastic Indentation Stress Fields.- Elastic Contact.- Hertzian Fracture.- Elastic-Plastic Indentation Stress Fields.- Hardness.- Elastic and Elastic-Plastic Contact.- Indentation Test Methods.- The Finite Element Method.
