Product Description

Book Description

With an eye on new technology and a concern for safety and durability in engineering design, this book covers the entire area of mechanical behavior of materials from a practical engineering viewpoint, providing a single-source introductory analysis with specific coverage on materials testing, yield criteria, stress-based fatigue, fracture mechanics, crack growth, strain-based fatigue, and creep. It is ideal for students who have completed first year mechanics of materials and who need to study practical engineering methods for analyzing parts of machines, vehicles, and structures to determine if trial designs or existing parts are adequate enough to ensure the components' strength and durability.

Features and Benefits

NEW-Significantly revises and expands coverage on fracture mechanics, stress-based fatigue, and creep.
NEW-Adds two new appendices; one that reviews useful topics from elementary mechanics of materials, and one that considers statistical variation in materials properties.
NEW-Materials Property Locator aids in quickly finding this information in tables throughout the book.
NEW-Contains approximately 423 end-of-chapter Problems and Questions (37% new or substantially revised).
Emphasizes the practical engineering methods of testing structural materials to obtain their properties and then predict their strength and life when they are made into parts of machines, vehicles, and structures.

From the Back Cover

Praised by readers for its usefulness, this book covers the entire area of mechanical behavior of materials from a practical engineering viewpoint, providing a single-source introductory analysis with specific coverage on materials testing, yield criteria, stress-based fatigue, fracture mechanics, crack growth, strain-based fatigue, and creep. Explains test methods and the principles behind them, and explores engineering methods for predicting strength and life, with real-date worked examples. Completely updates discussions on fracture mechanics, stress-based fatigue, and creep, and adds three new appendices; one that reviews useful topics from elementary mechanics of materials, one that considers statistical variation in materials properties, and a third that aids in locating materials property information in the tables found in various chapters. Updated end-of-chapter references lead to sources of materials data and to more detailed information. For the mechanical engineer, materials engineer, aeronautical engineer, structural engineer, design engineer, or test engineer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of its kind, Mar 24 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Mechanical Behavior of Materials: Engineering Methods for Deformation, Fracture, and Fatigue (Hardcover)
This is a very comprehensive and well-written book. Unlike other books that are overly theoretical, this book emphasizes practical methods that are currently being used to solve real-world problems. The treatment of uniaxial fatigue (both stress-based and strain-based) is superb. The chapters on failure theories and 3-D stress/strain are also excellent. Some readers like myself, however, may want a little more coverage of multiaxial fatigue. There is also no coverage at all on column stability. However, if you've found that your college texts on Machine Design and Mechanics of Materials are simply too idealized to be useful, you'll embrace this book with open arms.
