Description

Book Synopsis
This is a textbook on the mechanical behavior of materials for mechanical and materials engineering. It emphasizes quantitative problem solving. This new edition includes treatment of the effects of texture on properties and microstructure, on discontinuous and inhomogeneous deformation, and treatment of foams.
