Fractography in Failure Analysis of Polymers provides a practical guide to the science of fractography and its application in the failure analysis of plastic components. In addition to a brief background on the theory of fractography, the authors discuss the various fractographic tools and techniques used to identify key fracture characteristics. Case studies are included for a wide range of polymer types, applications, and failure modes, as well as best practice guidelines enabling engineers to apply these lessons to their own work. Detailed images and their appropriate context are presented for reference in failure investigations. This text is vital for engineers who must determine the root causes of failure when it occurs, helping them further study the ramifications of product liability claims, environmental concerns, and brand image.

Fractography in Failure Analysis of Polymers, Second Edition provides a practical guide to the science of fractography and its application in the failure analysis of plastic components. In addition to a brief background on the theory of fractography, the book's authors discuss the various fractographic tools and techniques used to identify key fracture characteristics. This second edition includes additional material related to polymer life prediction testing and analysis. Case studies have been expanded, including a wide range of polymer types, new technologies, applications, and failure modes, as well as best practice guidelines, thus enabling engineers to apply these lessons to their work. Detailed images and their appropriate context are presented for reference in failure investigations. This text is vital for engineers who must determine the root causes of failure when it occurs, helping them further study the ramifications of product liability claims, environmental concerns, and brand image. This is also a valuable resource for all plastics professionals, including manufacturers, product designers, and consultants, forensic investigators, as well as educators in materials science.

Each handy guide contains the questions most frequently asked by FAA examiners, and the appropriate responses. Additionally, each question refers to FAA materials for further study. The Oral Exam Guides are also beneficial to pilots who wish to refresh their knowledge, prepare for an instrument proficiency check, or transition to another aircraft.

Reference

Aviation Book Co

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) administers oral as well as written exams for pilot certification and flight review. These exam guides teach applicants not only what to expect, but also how to exhibit subject mastery and confidence while under tough examiner scrutiny. In this five-book series, the most consistent questions asked in each particular exam are provided in a question-and-answer format, with a reference to the specific information source from which the answer may be derived immediately following each question line. Applicants facing the private, certified flight instructor, instrument, commercial, or multiengine oral exam will benefit from the topics discussed and the further study materials provided.
