Book Description A balanced mechanics-materials approach and coverage of the latest developments in biomaterials and electronic materials, this a thorough and modern textbook for upper-level undergraduates. The fundamental mechanisms at micro- and nano-meter level are presented across a wide-range of materials, with mathematical simplicity and a conceptual focus. Review "I would certainly recommend this book to senior undergraduate and postgraduate students studying mechanical behavior of materials in Schools of Engineering or Solid State Physics. The book would be an excellent resource for a faculty staff to deliver a course on this topic" Materials Today, March 2009 Book Description A balanced mechanics-materials approach to mechanical behavior that now also covers biomaterials and electronic materials, ideal for upper-level undergraduate courses.
