Fatigue is treated from conventional (stress/strain-life) and fracture mechanics point of view (the bases of fracture mechanics are very well illustrated)

Stress corrosion and corrosion-fatigue are treated both from electrochemical (very understandable by mechanical engineers) and fracture mechanics stand point in a manner useful for design

The reader goes hand by hand troughout the book as in a novel

All subject matters are treated also from a phenomenological point of view, which helps understanding

There are many examples (generally each chapter has its exercises)

This textbook, suitable for students, researchers and engineers, gathers the experience of more than 20 years of teaching fracture mechanics, fatigue and corrosion to professional engineers and running experimental tests and verifications to solve practical problems in engineering applications. As such, it is a comprehensive blend of fundamental knowledge and technical tools to address the issues of fatigue and corrosion. The book initiates with a systematic description of fatigue from a phenomenological point of view, since the early signs of submicroscopic damage in few surface grains and continues describing, step by step, how these precursors develop to become mechanically small cracks and, eventually, macrocracks whose growth is governed by fracture mechanics. But fracture mechanics is also introduced to analyze stress corrosion and corrosion assisted fatigue in a rather advanced fashion. The author dedicates a particular attention to corrosion starting with an electrochemical treatment that mechanical engineers with a rather limited knowledge of electrochemistry will well digest without any pain. The electrochemical introduction is considered an essential requirement to the full understanding of corrosion that is essentially an electrochemical process.
