Mechanical Behavior of Materials 2nd Edition (South Asian Edition)

A balanced mechanics-materials approach and coverage of the latest developments in biomaterials and electronic materials the new edition of this popular text is the most thorough and modern book available for upper-level undergraduate courses on the mechanical behavior of materials. To ensure that the student gains a thorough understanding the authors present the fundamental mechanisms that operate at micro- and nano-meter level across a wide-range of materials in a way that is mathematically simple and requires no extensive knowledge of materials. This integrated approach provides a conceptual presentation that shows how the microstructure of a material controls its mechanical behavior and this is reinforced through extensive use of micrographs and illustrations. New worked examples and exercises help the student test their understanding.
