engineering mechanics. Their careful presentation of content, unmatched levels
of accuracy, and attention to detail have made their texts the standard for
excellence. The revision of their classic Mechanics of Materials text features a
new and updated design and art program; almost every homework problem is new or
revised; and extensive content revisions and text reorganizations have been
made. The multimedia supplement package includes an extensive strength of
materials Interactive Tutorial (created by George Staab and Brooks Breeden of
The Ohio State University) to provide students with additional help on key
concepts, and a custom book website offers online resources for both instructors
and students.
Book Description
Presents the phenomenological
theory of viscoelasticity. Permits the interrelation of the results of different
types of experiments and gives many useful approximation procedures for
calculations. Provides the basic material for a thorough course in polymer
viscoelasticity while omitting the more complicated mathematical treatments.
Principles are always illustrated by real data (not ``schematic diagrams'') and
real numbers (not ``arbitrary units'') so the reader can develop familiarity
with the actual magnitudes of the properties described.
Book Description
Computation materials science
utilizes computers to simulate material structures and predict their feasibility
and properties. Recent and rapid advances in computer technology combined with
the reduction in the cost of computers, have made this one of the fastest
growing areas in materials science. Using computational material science, a
researcher creates a computer model of a desired substance. Then by changing the
parameters of the program, the scientist can determine if the material is stable
under a variety of different conditions. Computer modeling can also help
scientists determine the various properties of a material, such as the magnetic
properties of an advanced ceramic. Using the computer allows results to be
determined without wasting time and money on actual physical fabrication and
testing of the material in question.
Book Description
The shape memory effect is a
unique property of certain alloys. Even though the alloy is deformed in the low
temperature phase, it recovers its original shape on being heated to a critical
higher temperature. This book presents a systematic and up-to-date account of
all aspects of shape memory materials, from fundamentals to applications. The
book contains chapters on shape memory ceramics and polymers as well as shape
memory alloys, making the book a comprehensive account of the field.
