Mechanical Behaviour of Materials

Publisher: Prentice Hall
ISBN: 0131863126

The most widely used text on mechanical behaviour of materials. Major topics include structure and deformation in materials, survey of engineering materials, mechanical testing, stress-strain relationships, complex and principle states of stress/strain, yielding and fracture of members under combined loading, fracture of cracked members, stress-based fatigue, strain-based fatigue, fatigue crack growth, plastic deformation, stress-strain analysis of plastically deforming members and time dependent behaviour (creep and damping).

Also includes appendices with common stress analysis formulas, stress concentration factors, etc, and an appendix on the statistical variation in material properties. Over 800 pages in this hardback edition.
