Mechanical Behavior of Materials (Pearson+)

Pearson+ gives you access to much more than your eTextbook. Most titles also include audiobooks, study notes, flashcards and more to help you thrive in the classroom.

For upper-level undergraduate and graduate level engineering courses in mechanical behavior of materials.

Predicting the mechanical behavior of materials

Mechanical Behavior of Materials 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.

The 5th Edition features many improvements and updates throughout, including new or revised problems and questions, as well as a new chapter on Environmentally Assisted Cracking.
