Mechanical Behavior of Materials: Engineering Methods

Strength of materials, also called mechanics of materials, is a subject which deals with the behavior of solid objects subject to stresses and strains. An adequate physical and mathematical description of material behavior is basic to all engineering applications. Fortunately, many problems may be treated entirely within the framework of elastic material response. Thus, during the last ten years particularly, there has been considerable effort expended toward the generation of both experimental data on the dynamic mechanical response of materials as well as the formulation of realistic constitutive theories. This outstanding work offers a wide-ranging treatment of the principles of the mechanical behavior of materials.
