    About this ebook

    Fatigue is a mechanism of failure which involves the formation and growth of cracks under the action of repeated stresses. Ultimately, a crack may propagate to such an extent that total fracture of the member may occur. To avoid fatigue it is essential to design the structure with inherent fatigue strength. However, fatigue strength for variable amplitude loading is not a constant material property and any calculations are necessarily built on a number of assumptions. Cumulative damage of welded joints explores the wealth of research in this important field and its implications for the design and manufacture of welded components.After an Introduction, chapter two introduces the constant amplitude database, which contains results obtained in test conditions and which forms the basis of the basic S-N curves for various types of joint. Chapter three discusses the influence of residual stresses which can have a marked effect on fatigue behaviour. Chapter four explores variable amplitude loading and the problem of how information from laboratory tests, obtained under constant amplitude conditions, can be applied to the design of structures for service conditions. This problem is further investigated in the next chapter which is devoted to two and three level load testing. Chapters six, seven and eight look at the influence that the variety of variable loading spectra can have on fatigue strength, whether narrow or wide band loading or cycles of small stress range. Taking all of this knowledge, chapter nine discusses structure designs.Cumulative damage of welded joints is a comprehensive source of invaluable information for welding engineers, supervisors, inspection personnel and designers. It will also be of great interest for academics working in the fields of structural and mechanical engineering.

      Not enough is known about synesthesia to write a science book with such a narrow focus.  More anecdotes & examples, even more descriptions of how the research with the synethestes, would have helped.   As is, to get to p. 166, the author had to do a lot of 'explain what you're going to talk about, talk about it, summarize what you talked about.'  Too bad.

      And the last bit, wherein the author concludes that all of can exercise our cross-sensory experiences and become synesthetic ourselves, I'm not buying.  The evidence that led him to believe he could awaken his 'hidden sense' is not compelling.  (Poorly designed interview research.)  Maybe some folks are mildly synesthetic and not aware of it, but just because one is poetic and believes in 'bitter cold' and 'sharp taste' does not mean one is unaware that Tuesday is blue or a doorbell is chartreuse....

      I do want to listen to Messiaen's From the Canyons to the Stars and to read more poems from the Dutch Group of Fifty" and look into the Natural Color System from the Scandinavian Color Institute (and play with color on my computer more).  There is a paragraph in the last section that claims that contemporary research does support the hypothesis that being synesthetic correlates with being creative.
