Review: This is a sourcebook of 40 case studies taken from Engineering Failure Analysis 1997-1999. They are arranged into sections, depending on the specific type of failure mechanism: overload, creep, brittle fracture, fatigue, environmental attack, environmentally-assisted cracking and bearing failures. It covers all kinds of materials - metals, concrete, wire rope, polypropylene, nylon, etc, and a wide variety of circumstances and failures: in a silo, firewall, spray drier, piston rod, radiator, surgical tools, flexible waveguide, wires in a motorway, etc.
