✦ Synopsis

The book contains 16 chapters: (i) overview of materials and their performance, (ii) elasticity and viscoelasticity, (iii) plasticity, (iv) and (v) imperfections/defects, (vi) deformation and work hardening (which now days is called strain-hardening), (vii) and (xiii) and (ix) fracture, (x) strengthening of alloys, (xi) martensitic transformations, (xii) intermetallics and foams, (xiii) creep and superplasticity, (xiv) fatigue, (xv) composite materials, and (xvi) environmental effects. The book is an impressive collection of knowledge on mechanical behaviour of materials, and to produce such a book requires a large amount of time, effort, clarity of thought, diligence, and support from others. Both authors are eminent researchers and distinguished teachers.
