Deformable Bodies and Their Material Behavior
ESSENTIAL TOOLS FOR AVOIDING MATERIAL FUNCTIONAL FAILUREOffering comprehensive, organized, and detailed coverage, Henry Haslach and Ronald Armstrong’sDeformable Bodies and Their Material Behaviorpresent a quantitative description of the mechanical behavior of a broad range of deformable bodies under widely differing conditions and at a level sufficient to match real behavior, and introduces the key tools needed to avoid material functional failure.Covering stress and deformation analysis, material failure modes, and mechanical rest evaluations of material properties, this text provides the tools, insights, and knowledge needed to build a strong foundation for the design of mechanical devices.HIGHLIGHTS
