ASM Failure Analysis Case Histories: Air and Spacecraft documents more than 100 cases of structural and/or functional failure and subsequent investigation involving landing gear, engines, fuel tanks, flight control and actuation systems, weapons (in the case of military aircraft), wings, doors, propellers, and other components. The majority of cases identify the primary cause, and many include remedial solutions. These case histories have been compiled from a wide variety of ASM International publication types, including ASM Handbook volumes, conference proceedings, technical books, journals, and magazines.
