Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 3rd Edition

by Norman E. Dowling

For upper-level undergraduate engineering courses in Mechanical Behavior of Materials. This respected text introduces the spectrum of mechanical behavior of materials, emphasizing practical engineering methods for testing structural materials to obtain their properties, and predicting their strength and life when used for machines, vehicles, and structures. With its logical treatment and ready-to-use format, it is ideal for upper-level undergraduate students who have completed elementary mechanics of materials courses.
