Contains more than 500 fatigue curves for industrial ferrous and nonferrous alloys. Also includes a thorough explanation of fatigue testing and interpretation of test results. Each curve is presented independently and includes an explanation of its particular importance. The curves are titled by standard industrial designations (AISI, CDA, AA, etc.) of the metals, and a complete reference is given to the original source to facilitate further research. The collection includes standard S-N curves, curves showing effect of surface hardening on fatigue strength, crack growth-rate curves, curves comparing the fatigue strengths of various alloys, effect of variables (i.e. temperature, humidity, frequency, aging, environment, etc.) and much, much more.This one volume consolidates important and hard-to-find fatigue data in a single comprehensive source.

The Atlas of Stress-Strain Curves, Second Edition presents more than 1400 stress-strain curves from authoritative sources. The presentation of the curves is normalized to aid making comparisons among materialsThe Second Edition is substantially bigger—in page dimensions, number of pages, and total number of curves—and better than the previous edition. It contains over 1400 curves, almost three times as many as in the 1987 edition. The curves are normalized in appearance to aid making comparisons among materials. All diagrams include metric (SI) units, and many also include U.S. customary units. All curves are captioned in a consistent format with valuable information including (as available) standard designation, the primary source of the curve, mechanical properties (including hardening exponent and strength coefficient), condition of sample, strain rate, test temperature, and alloy composition. Curve types include monotonic and cyclic stress-strain, isochronous stress-strain, and tangent modulus. Curves are logically arranged and indexed for fast retrieval of information.The book also includes an introduction that provides background information on methods of stress-stain determination, on data presentation and analysis, and on application of the results.
