Mechanical Behavior Of Materials Hardcover English by Marc Andre Meyers - 41655.0

Marc Andre Meyers

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. Further resources for this title, including lecture slides of select illustrations and solutions for exercises.

I would certainly recommend this book to senior undergraduate and postgraduate students studying mechanical behavior of materials in schools of engineering or solid state physics. The book would be an excellent resource for a faculty staff to deliver a course on this topic.'
