Mechanical Behavior of Materials (3rd Edition) 3rd edition by Dowling, Norman E. published by Prentice Hall Hardcover

by Norman E. Dowling

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. Mechanical Behavior of Materials 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 new appendices.
