Summary

• "An understanding of the mechanical behavior of materials is crucial to the success of many technological endeavors, yet few researchers master both mechanics and materials science. This unique volume helps bridge the important gap between the two disciplines.
• Bringing together contributions by some of the foremost authorities in these fields, this practical work introduces materials scientists to the quantitative aspects of analysis and computation, and members of the mechanics community to the tools and applications of materials science and testing and characterization methods.
• The authors present diverse methodologies, practices, and nomenclature - pointing out the many shared and related concepts and helping readers tackle cross-disciplinary problems with ease."--BOOK JACKET.
