Books like Mechanical behavior of materials by Marc A. Meyers

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.

"This is a textbook for courses in departments of Civil and Mechanical Engineering commonly called strength of materials or mechanics of materials. The intent of this book is to provide a background in the mechanics of solids for students of mechanical engineering, while limiting the information on why materials behave as they do. It is assumed that the students have already had courses covering materials science and basic statics. Much of the material is drawn from another book by the author, Mechanical Behavior of Materials. To make the text suitable for Mechanical Engineers, the chapters on slip, dislocations, twinning, residual stresses and hardening mechanisms have been eliminated and the treatments in other chapters about of ductility viscoelasticity, creep, ceramics and polymers have been simplified"--Provided by publisher.

**strong text**

Advancing the study of materials, this book delves into deformation, stress, and strain under varied loading conditions, covering advanced topics like unsymmetrical bending, fatigue, creep, fracture, and finite element analysis.

"Philpot helps mechanical engineers visualize key mechanics of materials concepts better than any book available, following a sound problem solving methodology while thoroughly covering all the basics. The second edition seamlessly integrates the author's award winning Mecmovies software with the chapters. It incorporates approximately150 new problems to help them learn how to apply the material. New coverage is included on singularity functions. Content has also been revised throughout the book to provide mechanical engineers with the latest information in the field."--
