Mechanical Behavior of Materials: Second EditionThis outstanding text offers a comprehensive treatment of the principles of the mechanical behavior of materials. Appropriate for senior and graduate courses, it is distinguished by its focus on the relationship between macroscopic properties, material microstructure, and fundamental concepts of bonding and crystal structure. The current, second edition retains the original editions extensive coverage of nonmetallics while increasing coverage of ceramics, composites, and polymers that have emerged as structural materials in their own right and are now competitive with metals in many applications. It contains new case studies, includes solved example problems, and incorporates real-life examples.

... atomic level . The response of a solid to external or internal forces can vary considerably , depending on the magnitude of these forces and the material characteristics . For example , if the forces are great the material may fracture ...
... atomic level . Atoms are represented by the open circles and atomic bonds by the " springs . " The shear strain arises from the " bending " of the atomic bonds . within a solid . This can be visualized by considering the simple - cubic ...
... atomic bond stretching and distortion . Finally , material fracture is related to elastic prop- erties in that some of the driving force for fracture is related to the elastic energy re- lease accompanying it . We discuss various types ...
... atomic bonding . The bulk modulus , for example , is directly related to the external force re- quired to compress or extend interatomic distances in opposition to the internal forces that seek to establish an equilibrium , or ...
... atomic bonding and the elastic modulus . However , the relationship be- tween macroscopic elastic properties and internal bonding can be developed in a more quantitative way . To do this we consider the variation of the internal poten ...
