Description for Materials in Mechanical Extremes: Fundamentals and Applications
hardcover. This book explores the underlying principles of materials under extreme pressures, providing a toolbox for assessing/predicting their behaviour in real-world applications. Num Pages: 539 pages, 225 b/w illus. 25 tables. BIC Classification: TGMD5. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 253 x 180 x 30. Weight in Grams: 1212.
This unified guide brings together the underlying principles, and predictable material responses, that connect metals, polymers, brittle solids and energetic materials as they respond to extreme external stresses. Previously disparate scientific principles, concepts and terminology are combined within a single theoretical framework, across different materials and scales, to provide all the tools necessary to understand, and calculate, the responses of materials and structures to extreme static and dynamic loading. Real-world examples illustrate how material behaviours produce a component response, enabling recognition – and avoidance – of the deformation mechanisms that contribute to mechanical failure. A final synoptic chapter presents a ... Read more
