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.

... modulus . A material having a high value of the tensile modulus is stiff ; i.e. , it is resistant to tensile deformation of the kind just described . Linear elasticity of this kind is observed in all classes of solids . It is the domi ...
... modulus can be ascertained by careful measurement of the linear stress - strain relationship in a tension test , which is a test similar to that illus- trated in Fig . 1.1 . The shear modulus can be obtained indirectly from a tension ...
... modulus line is drawn from an offset on the strain axis ( typically pl = 0.002 0.2 % ) . The intersection of this = line with the stress - strain curve defines the material's offset yield strength σ . Clearly σ , depends on the ...
... modulus , E , is a material property used in design against elastic deflection . For example , the properties of a spring are determined by the spring geometry and the SECTION 1.4 Fracture 30 CHAPTER 1 Overview of Mechanical Behavior ...
