Title Mechanical Behavior of Materials: Engineering Methods for Deformation, Fracture, and Fatigue, Second Edition
Author Norman E. Dowling
Biblio 1999; 830 Pages; Hard Cover
Description Comprehensive in scope and readable, this book explores the methods used by engineers to analyze and predict the mechanical behavior of materials. Author Norman E. Dowling provides thorough coverage of materials testing and practical methods for forecasting the strength and life of mechanical parts and structural members. Professor Dowling covers yield and fracture criteria, fracture mechanics for cracked, fatigue life estimation, plastic deformation, and creep deformation and rupture. The treatment of fatigue extends to irregular load-time histories and considers the topic from three viewpoints: the traditional stress-based approach, the crack growth approach, and the strain-based approach. Also features reviews of materials science and stress and strain. This Second Edition includes updated coverage throughout, additions to the already numerous worked examples, and two appendices.
