Presenting the fundamentals and advanced matter pertinent to the behaviour of materials under conditions such as impact, shock, stress and high strain-rate loadings, this study focuses on a microstructural point of view, which is the future direction of research at this time.
This edition comprehensively updates the field of fracture mechanics by including details of the latest research programmes. It contains new material on non-metals, design issues and statistical aspects. The application of fracture mechanics to different types of materials is st…
This enthralling book alerts us to nothing less than the existence of new varieties of life. Some of these species can move and eat, see, reproduce, and die. Some behave like birds or ants. One such life form may turn out to be our best weapon in the war against AIDS. What these…
