Soft cover. Condición: New. The objective of the monograph entitled 'Investigations on Failures of Defence Hardware Components: Fundamentals and Case Histories' is to present how different causes trigger a failure and what remedial actions should be taken to prevent recurrence of similar failures in future. There are very few books where a reader can find investigations on real time failures of engineering components especially those used in defence hardware. The present monograph is an effort by the author to fulfil this need. The monograph is structured in to two different parts. Part 1 guides the readers through general principles and practice of the science and art of Failure Analysis. The major sources, causes and mechanisms of component failures in a hardware system are brought out with examples and illustrations in a separate chapter. Part 2 is a compilation of some real time case studies. The cases pertain to components of aircraft engine and structure, main battle tanks, weapons and weapon systems. The monograph will be immensely useful for students, young practicing metallurgists and engineering professionals engaged in the design, development, manufacture, and inspection of metallic components for various engineering and aerospace applications.…
