| Summary |
The second- or third-year engineering student who has completed a materials science course now requires a firm grounding on the principles and applications of the origins of mechanical properties of engineering materials. This book provides essential knowledge of mechanical properties, in a systematic sequence from the simple to the complex, so that the student can apply this knowledge to the design and manufacturing courses that follow |
