- Synopsis
- Hosford (emeritus, materials science, U. of Michigan), who has extensive publications in the field, has written a textbook focused on the mechanics of solids for students of mechanical engineering. Drawing much of the material from his earlier text, Mechanical behavior of materials, Hosford presents a clearly organized text that assumes students already have a knowledge of materials science and statics, allowing for an uncluttered presentation of the science, testing, and principles of stress and strain, elasticity, mechanical testing, plasticity, viscoelasticity, creep and stress rupture, ductility and fracture, and fatigue. Chapters on polymers, ceramics, and composites are included, as is a concluding chapter on anisotropy. Study problems are included throughout the text.
