Mechanics of Materials clearly and thoroughly presents the theory and supports the application of essential mechanics of materials principles. Professor Hibbeler s concise writing style, countless examples, and stunning four-color photorealistic art program all shaped by the com…
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…
The mechanical properties of food play an important role during manufacturing, storage, handling, and last but not least, during consumption. For an adequate understanding of the mechanical properties of liquid, liquid-like, soft solid, and solid foods, a basic understanding of…
"Focusing on the exposure of polymers to temperature extremes and concentrates, Mechanical and Corrosion-Resistant Properties of Plastics and Elastomers provides definitions of mechanical property terms as they relate to plastics rather than metals ... discusses vinyl ester, epo…
"Philpot helps mechanical engineers visualize key mechanics of materials concepts better than any book available, following a sound problem solving methodology while thoroughly covering all the basics. The second edition seamlessly integrates the author's award winning Mecmovies…
"When fibres in a composite are discontinuous and are shorter than a few millimetres, the composite is called a 'short fibre reinforced polymer (SFRP) composite'. SFRPs have found extensive applications in automobiles, business machines, durable consumer items, sporting goods an…
Friction, lubrication, adhesion, and wear are prevalent physical phenomena in everyday life and in many key technologies. This book explains how these tribological phenomena originate from atomistic and microscale physical phenomena and shows how this understanding can be used t…
