Fatigue Testing and Analysis of Results
by W. WeibullFatigue Testing and Analysis of Results discusses fundamental concepts of fatigue testing and results analysis. The book begins with a description of the symbols and nomenclature selected for the present book, mainly those proposed by the ASTM Committee E-9 on Fatigue. Fatigue testing methods are then discussed including routine tests, short-life and long-life tests, cumulative-damage tests, and abbreviated and accelerated tests. Separate chapters cover fatigue testing machines and equipment; instruments and measuring devices; and test pieces used in fatigue testing. The factors affecting test results are considered, including material, types of stressing, test machine, environment, and testing technique. The final two chapters cover the planning of test programs and the presentation of results. Test program planning involves the statistical design of a test series; specification and sampling of test pieces; and choice of test pieces, testing machines, and test conditions. The chief purpose of most fatigue tests is the experimental determination of the relation between the endurance and the magnitude of the applied stress range for the material and the specimen under consideration, and final results can be condensed into a table, graph, or analytical expression.
Fault Lines: Fractured Families and How to Mend Them
by Dr Karl Pillemer'A life-changing new book' DAILY MAILWhat problem touches millions of people and causes distress so profound that it can last a lifetime? What if no reliable professional guidance exists for this problem, so most people who suffer from it are on their own in finding solutions?This critically important issue - and hidden epidemic - is family estrangement. Few problems are so widespread and so damaging, sometimes for decades and across generations, and yet there has not been a definitive, popular and data-informed book about how families are broken and stay broken - until now. Fault Lines is a fascinating, moving and above all practical treatment of this complex issue, aimed at adults of all ages. Based on 300 in-depth interviews with 1,800 individuals, this book captures the eloquence of ordinary people facing family challenges that threaten their identity, health and well-being, relying on sources never before available, including a unique combination of rich, in-depth interviews, data from large-scale surveys and conversations with leading family therapists. This is the first book to reveal successful strategies from people who have found ways to repair rifts or live peacefully with the consequences when nothing can be done - and the first to offer hope to broken families which need it the most.

Fehlerfolgen im europäischen Eigenverwaltungsrecht: Heilung und Unbeachtlichkeit in rechtsvergleichender Perspektive (Beiträge zum ausländischen öffentlichen Recht und Völkerrecht #286)
by Laura HeringDieses Buch nimmt die derzeitige - sowohl interinstitutionelle als auch wissenschaftliche - Debatte um den Erlass eines europäischen Eigenverwaltungsverfahrensgesetzes zum Anlass, sich mit den in der Diskussion bislang ausgeklammerten Rechtsfiguren der Heilung und Unbeachtlichkeit von Verfahrens- und Formfehlern im europäischen Eigenverwaltungsrecht zu befassen. Dabei analysiert und systematisiert es ausführlich die unionsgerichtliche Rechtsprechung und bettet Heilung und Unbeachtlichkeit in das System des europäischen Primärrechts sowie in die Dogmatik und Funktionen des europäischen Eigenverwaltungs(verfahrens)rechts ein. Ein Rechtsvergleich untersucht ferner, wie ausgewählte mitgliedstaatliche Rechtsordnungen mit der Möglichkeit, Verfahrens- und Formfehlern zu relativieren, umgehen. Mit einem konkreten Vorschlag dazu, wie ein mögliches Gesetz zum allgemeinen europäischen Eigenverwaltungsverfahrensrecht die Heilung und Unbeachtlichkeit von Verfahrens- und Formfehlern kodifizieren könnte, wird die Arbeit beschlossen.
