This book presents the mechanisms by which failures occur in mechanical components and structures within a scientific framework. It examines mechanical failures and corrosion-related degradation, providing both theoretical background and real industrial case studies. The book also covers human factors in failure initiation and evolution, highlighting the importance of safety culture and demonstrating how scientific principles with practical application can reduce failures. Drawing upon their extensive experience investigating industrial failures, the authors combine international case studies with professional insights to deliver practical relevance and technical guidance.

Key Features:

  • Addresses a wide range of failure mechanisms including brittle fracture, fatigue, creep, hydrogen embrittlement, and corrosion across industrial applications.
  • Bridges theory and practice by integrating over 80 case-studies to support applied learning and practical understanding of material degradation and failure mechanisms.
  • Highlights the role of human error, poor maintenance practices, and safety culture in catastrophic failures.
  • Presents a systematic approach to failure analysis including data collection, testing, metallography, and root cause identification.
  • Demonstrates preventive strategies through lessons from industrial incidents for design and maintenance practices.

This book is aimed at graduate students, instructors, and engineers in materials science, mechanical engineering, and related fields involved in failure analysis and prevention strategies.
