Description

Provides a comprehensive treatment of the mechanical behavior of materials within a balanced mechanics-materials approach.* Reviews properties of materials topics in Chapter 1 to provide necessary background for the rest of the course. * chapters 2-5 are flexibly organized, allowing instructors to cover only the elementary material in each chapter or to delve into the more advanced material. * Chapters 6-11 present various mechanisms by which strength and toughness of materials can be tailored. * The most common testing procedures for determining mechanical properties of materials are presented in chapters 12-17. * Ceramics, polymers, composites, and inter-metallics are comprehensively covered.
