SOM BARN DRØMTE CASPER BØRGE NIELSEN om at blive pilot, og allerede som 17-årig gik han i gang med at tage et flycertifikat. Da han som ung mand så Top Gun, var han ikke det mindste i tvivl: han ville være jagerpilot. I dag er han Major i det danske flyvevåben og har status som en af verdens bedste testpiloter. Som jagerpilot går han under kaldenavnet ”PEL”, og som testpilot har han været med i allerforreste linje, når der skulle udvikles og testes fly til Flyvevåbnet. Som den eneste ikke-amerikanske testpilot deltog han i udviklingen af det mest avancerede jagerfly, der nogensinde er blevet bygget, det højteknologiske F-35. PEL’s fortælling er historien om en dreng, der igen og igen har udfordret sine egne dæmoner og sat sit liv på spil i en usædvanlig dramatisk karriere. Det er også historien om at leve i lange perioder under et konstant pres, som kun de færreste kan forestille sig. CASPER BØRGE NIELSEN er fra Esbjerg og har som en af de få i Danmark gennemført en uddannelse som Experimental Test Pilot. Han fik sin uddannelse i USA og har i mange år haft sin daglige gang blandt verdens bedste testpiloter. I perioden 2008-2017 deltog han som den eneste ikke-amerikanske testpilot i test og udvikling af F-35 Joint Strike Fighter-flyet, som skal afløse de danske F-16-jagere om få år.

Andreas Mogensen skrev danmarkshistorie, da han 2. september 2015 blev sendt i rummet som første dansker nogensinde. I Min rejse til rummet fortæller Andreas om sin kamp for at blive astronaut, hvordan drømmen spirede som barn, og om hvordan han som ung og voksen konstant rettede uddannelse og jobs mod ét mål: at blive astronaut. Vi hører om de krævende test, som Andreas Mogensen og fem andre bestod blandt 10.000 ansøgere hos Den Europæiske Rumorganisation. Og han fortæller om den ekstreme astronauttræning, der bl.a. foregår dybt nede i mørke grotter i Italien, på havets bund i USA, i høje luftlag og i endeløse simuleringer i rumkapsler i Stjernebyen i Rusland. Ikke mindst fortæller Andreas Mogensen detaljeret om sin mission i rummet, om den højspændte raketafsendelse fra jorden, om at suse i en rumkapsel med 28.000 km. i timen, om tilkoblingen til Den Internationale Rumstation og den nervepirrende tur tilbage til Jorden. Og så fortæller han om livet på rumstationen: om den vigtige forskning og de mange forsøg, og om de komiske og udfordrende oplevelser ved at være vægtløs: at svæve gennem modulerne, spise, børste tænder, sove – helt almindelige hverdagsting, der kan drille, når intet er ”op” eller ”ned”. Andreas Mogensen tager i denne bog læseren med på en betagende rejse og ser frem mod nye missioner. En inspirerende fortælling om at nå sine mål og have hele verden – ja universet – som sin arbejdsplads.

This book provides a systematic and standardized approach based on the authors' over 30 years of research experience with weight function methods, as well as the relevant literature. Fracture mechanics has become an indispensable tool for the design and safe operation of damage-tolerant structures in many important technical areas. The stress intensity factor-the characterizing parameter of the crack tip field-is the foundation of fracture mechanics analysis. The weight function method is a powerful technique for determining stress intensity factors and crack opening displacements for complex load conditions, with remarkable computational efficiency and high accuracy.The book presents the theoretical background of the weight function methods, together with a wealth of analytical weight functions and stress intensity factors for two- and three-dimensional crack geometries; many of these have been incorporated into national, international standards and industrial codes of practice. The accuracy of the results is rigorously verified, and various sample applications are provided. Accordingly, the book offers an ideal reference source for graduate students, researchers, and engineers whose work involves fracture and fatigue of materials and structures, who need not only stress intensity factors themselves but also efficient and reliable tools for obtaining them.
