DESCRIPTION:
Alexandru Stere said Good textbook for students and junior engineers. This book is a great reading for students or junior engineers who are just starting to work in Mechanical Engineering. However, a Senior Engineer and any experienced practician will look for something more deep.. G. Stauffer said Excellent text!. I thought that this was an excellent text!. The best of its kind A Customer 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, y
Explains test methods and the principles behind them, and explores engineering methods for predicting strength and life, with real-date worked examples. 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. Completely updates discussions on fracture mechanics, str
From the Publisher An exploration of the engineering methods used in industry for analyzing and predicting the mechanical behavior of materials.
