Preface
My primary objective in this book is to provide a simple introduction to the
subject of mechanical properties of engineered materials for undergraduate
and graduate students. I have been encouraged in this task by my students
and many practicing engineers with a strong interest in the mechanical
properties of materials and I hope that this book will satisfy their needs. I
have endeavored to cover only the topics that I consider central to the
development of a basic understanding of the mechanical properties of mate-
rials. It is not intended to be prehensive review of all the different
aspects of mechanical properties; such a task would be beyond the capabil-
ities of any single author. Instead, t
