Biography
Vydehi Arun Joshi
“This would be a useful addition to the shelves of many libraries. It covers pure titanium, the common titanium alloys and titanium aluminides. The text is based around fractography and gives much advice on failure analysis of titanium alloys in practical situations.”
—Brian Ralph, Emeritus Professor, School of Engineering and Design, Brunel University, Uxbridge, Middlesex, UK, in Materials Characterization
