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 are explained in detail.

Textbook merging the areas of Continuum Mechanics and Materials Science Thoroughly explains the mechanisms of the mechanical behavior of materials Deals with metals, ceramics, and polymers Discusses strengthening measures
