Machine Learning in the Analysis of Solid Deformation, Fatigue and Fracture fills a clear gap in literature by applying machine learning to deformation, fatigue, and fracture analysis in solid mechanics. The book’s focus on complex mechanisms and coupling phenomena, discussed with practical examples, makes it a valuable resource for advanced researchers. Practical examples and case studies enable readers to understand both the underlying engineering problems and the application of machine learning methods to enhance fatigue life prediction analysis for solid materials and structures.Provides a systematic summary of machine learning methods applied to solid deformation, fatigue and fracture analysisFills a clear gap in the literature by applying machine learning to deformation, fatigue, and fracture analysis in solid mechanicsIntroduces the application of physics-informed machine learning in multiaxial fatigue life predictionIntroduces the application of physics-informed machine learning in predicting the fatigue life of additively manufactured metallic metalsIncludes numerous practical examples and case studies and draws on the authors’ extensive experience in multiscale simulation of solid materials and fatigue life prediction

New contributions to the cyclic plasticity of engineering materialsWritten by leading experts in the field, this book provides an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to cyclic plasticity of metals, polymers, composites and shape memory alloys. Each chapter is devoted to fundamentals of cyclic plasticity or to one of the major classes of materials, thereby providing a wide coverage of the field.The book deals with experimental observations on metals, composites, polymers and shape memory alloys, and the corresponding cyclic plasticity models for metals, polymers, particle reinforced metal matrix composites and shape memory alloys.
