\ BooknewsFrom a November 1995 symposium in Norfolk, Virginia 11 papers report on how computers are playing an ever greater role in testing for fatigue and fracture as applications have become more sophisticated and hardware smaller and more powerful over the past few years. Covering data acquisition, simulation, and test control, they discuss such aspects as networked data acquisition systems for strain data collection, computer modeling and simulation in a full-scale aircraft structural test laboratory, and the control of a biaxial test using calculated input signals and cascade control.
