Description

Fully revised and updated, the new edition of this classic textbook places a stronger emphasis on real-world test data and trains students in practical materials applications; introduces new testing techniques such as micropillar compression and electron back scatted diffraction; and presents new coverage of biomaterials, electronic materials, and cellular materials alongside established coverage of metals, polymers, ceramics and composites. Retaining its distinctive emphasis on a balanced mechanics-materials approach, it presents fundamental mechanisms operating at micro- and nanometer scales across a…
