Comprehensive Mechanics of Materials

Comprehensive Mechanics of Materials, Four Volume Set, provides a trove of practical information into the properties, performances, and applications of a vast array of commonly used materials. It equips readers with a clear understanding of the main mechanisms of deformation, damage, and fracture alongside methods to account for them in analysis, design, and optimization of components and structures. The book provides solutions to modern-day engineering problems, combining both a breadth and depth of coverage of advanced topics of mechanics of materials, including the latest types of materials, mechanical behaviors, mechanisms underpinning their deformation, damage, fracture behaviors, and more.
