Linear and Non-linear Mechanical Behavior of Solid Materials Your Indispensable Tool

ISBN-13: 9783319556086

This book delves into the complex world of mechanical behavior of solid materials, exploring both linear and non-linear aspects. The content covers a wide range of topics, including stress-strain relationships, deformation mechanisms, and failure criteria.

Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of how materials respond to external forces, whether they exhibit linear elasticity or non-linear behavior such as plasticity or viscoelasticity. The book also discusses the importance of material properties such as yield strength, modulus of elasticity, and toughness in determining mechanical behavior.

Additionally, the text explores the role of microstructure in influencing mechanical properties, as well as the effects of temperature, strain rate, and loading conditions on material behavior. Practical examples and case studies are included to illustrate key concepts and provide real-world applications.

this book serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the field of materials science and engineering, offering a thorough examination of the mechanical behavior of solid materials in both linear and non-linear regimes.

This edition retains the full content with the added advantage of portability, allowing readers to easily access and engage with the material from any device, whether in a classroom or during fieldwork.
