Features in-depth discussions on tensile and compressive properties, shear properties, strength, hardness, environmental effects, and creep crack growth.

Mechanical Properties of Engineered Materials considers

• computation of principal stresses and strains
• mechanical testing
• plasticity in ceramics, metals, intermetallics, and polymers
• materials selection for thermal shock resistance
• the analysis of failure mechanisms such as fatigue, fracture, and creep
• fatigue life prediction

Mechanical Properties of Engineered Materials is a top-shelf reference for professionals and students in materials, chemical, mechanical, corrosion, industrial, civil, and maintenance engineering; and surface chemistry.
