Frequently Asked Questions — Materials Selection by Failure Mode — A Designer's Guide

What exactly is "Materials Selection by Failure Mode — A Designer's Guide" and who is it for?

Materials Selection by Failure Mode — A Designer's Guide is a professional engineering book published by 3D-LABS, written by practising engineers for working professionals, engineering graduates, and technical students in India. It provides structured, code-relevant, immediately applicable engineering knowledge — not academic theory. Available as an instant-download eBook PDF at ₹3,555.00 (sale, regular ₹3,950.00) and a physical Paper Book at ₹4,905.00.

What format does this book follow and what standards does it reference?

All 3D-LABS engineering books follow a practice-first structure: each chapter is built around worked examples, engineering diagrams, and real-world applications. Where applicable, content references Indian Standards (IS codes, BIS), international standards (ASME, AISC, IEC, IEEE), and India-specific regulations such as IGBC guidelines for green construction. Every formula includes units, assumptions, and the applicable standard edition.

How do I access this book after purchase?

eBook PDF: Instant download — a secure download link is delivered via email and your 3D-LABS account dashboard immediately after payment confirmation. No shipping wait. Lifetime access included — re-download anytime. Paper Book: Printed and shipped to your delivery address in India. Expect standard courier delivery timelines.

Is this book relevant for Indian engineering practice and IS codes?

Yes. 3D-LABS books are specifically written for Indian engineering context. Content includes Indian Standards (IS 456, IS 800, IS 1893, SP 46, etc. where relevant to the topic), Indian industry norms, and practical examples from Indian project environments. This distinguishes 3D-LABS books from generic international textbooks that may not reflect Indian code requirements or local practice.

Who authored this book and what is their expertise?

This book is authored by the engineering team at 3D-LABS — a multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy with offices in Trichy (Tamil Nadu), Hyderabad, and London. 3D-LABS provides engineering design, analysis, and consulting services to industry, giving its authors direct, current knowledge of engineering practice. Books are reviewed for technical accuracy before publication. 3D-LABS books are used by 10,000+ engineers and students across India.

What is the difference between the eBook PDF and the Paper Book?

The eBook PDF is a digital file: instant download, searchable, print-friendly, accessible on any device, lifetime re-download. The Paper Book is a physical printed copy shipped to your address — identical content, ideal for desk reference and annotation. The Paper Book is priced at ₹700 more than the eBook PDF to cover printing and shipping costs.

This Materials Selection By Failure Mode eBook from 3D-LABS is written for engineers and students who want a clear, practical reference they can apply immediately.

Materials Selection by Failure Mode — A Designer’s Guide covers materials selection driven by failure mode analysis — fatigue, creep, corrosion, wear, brittle fracture, and high-temperature degradation — using Ashby charts, Goodman diagrams, and code-specified property requirements for engineering design decisions.

What standards does this book reference?

ASME II Part D (material properties for pressure vessels), IS 2062:2011 (structural steel grades E250-E550), ASTM A240/SA240 (stainless steel for pressure vessels), ASME VIII Div 2 Part 3 (material specification requirements), and NACE MR0103/ISO 17945 (corrosion rate classification for process environments).

What fatigue life prediction method is used?

Stress-life (S-N) Marin equation: Se = ka x kb x kc x kd x ke x Se-prime, where Se-prime = 0.504 x Sut for Sut less than 1400 MPa (the unmodified endurance limit). Surface finish factor ka (machined: 0.9-0.95, as-cast: 0.4-0.8), size factor kb (0.85 for d greater than 50 mm), load factor kc (0.7 for torsion). Modified Goodman criterion: sigma-a/Se + sigma-m/Sut = 1 for infinite life boundary.

What corrosion-resistant material selection content is included?

Galvanic series for marine and process environments. NACE MR0103/ISO 17945 corrosion rate classification: less than 0.1 mm/year (mild), 0.1-0.5 mm/year (moderate), greater than 0.5 mm/year (severe). Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number: PREN = Cr + 3.3 x Mo + 16 x N. Super duplex 2507 PREN = 43 (seawater service), standard duplex 2205 PREN = 36, 316L stainless PREN = 23.
