Abstract:

A series of lectures on failure analysis are presented. Causes, cures, and preventive measures of corrosion are discussed. The general types of elevated-temperature service failure are described and the influence of static and dynamic loading, thermal cycling, corrosion, and inert environments are discussed. The sensitivity of present high strength structural alloys to brittle failure under various environmental and state of stress conditions is included. Present Air Force research efforts on the characteristic behavior of high strength materials are reviewed. This includes the relationship between mechanical wear and lubrication. A description of the interaction between two contacting solids causing wear and the basic principles of lubrication and lubrication techniques are given. Author
