MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF ENGINEERING MATERIALS -...

How do engineering materials deform when bearing mechanical loads? To answer this crucial
question  the book bridges the gap between continuum mechanics and materials science. The
different kinds of material deformation (elasticity  plasticity  fracture  creep  fatigue) are
explained in detail. The book also discusses the physical processes occurring during the
deformation of all classes of engineering materials (metals  ceramics  polymers  and
composites) and shows how these materials can be strengthened to meet the design requirements.
It provides the knowledge needed in selecting the appropriate engineering material for a
certain design problem. The reader will thus learn how to critically employ design rules and
thus to avoid failure of mechanical components. 'Mechanical Behaviour of Engineering Materials'
is both a valuable textbook and a useful reference for graduate students and practising
engineers.
