Publisher Description
Provides comprehensive treatment of the mechanical behavior of materials within a balanced mechanics-materials approach. Covering a range of materials, including metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites, this book presents the properties...
Covers stress-strain equations, mechanical testing, yielding and fracture under stress, fracture of cracked members, and fatigue of materials.
An understanding of mechanisms for mechanical behavior is essential to applications of new materials and new designs using established materials. Focusing on the similarities and differences in mechanical response within...
Mechanical Behavior of Materials
The text emphasises practical engineering methods for testing structural materials to obtain their properties, predicting their strength and life, and avoiding structural failure when used for machines, vehicles, and structures.
It was the purpose of the Symposium at which the articles in this book were presented to discuss and review recent developments in this field.
It provides the knowledge needed in selecting the appropriate engineering material for a certain design problem. This book is both a valuable textbook and a useful reference for graduate students and practising engineers.
Mechanical Behavior of Materials
This practical reference provides thorough and systematic coverage on both basic metallurgy and the practical engineering aspects of metallic material selection and application.
This two-volume work, of which this is the first volume, aims to provide the means by which this challenge may be met.
