TI - Mechanical Behavior of Materials : : Engineering Methods for Deformation , Fracture , and Fatigue / SN - 1292279354 AV - TA404.8 .D69 2020 PY - 2020/// CY - Vivar : PB - Pearson Education Limited , KW - Materials KW - Testing N2 - Mechanical Behavior of Materials predicts the mechanical behavior of materials. It introduces the spectrum of mechanical behavior of materials and covers the topics of deformation, fracture and fatigue. The text emphasizes practical engineering methods for testing structural materials to obtain their properties, predicting their strength and life, and avoiding structural failure when used for machines, vehicles and structures. With its logical treatment and ready-to-use format, the text is ideal for upper-level undergraduate students who have completed an elementary mechanics of materials course ER -
