Download or read book SOLID MECHANICS FOR MATERIALS ENGINEERS -- Principles and Applications of Mesomechanics written by Yunan Prawoto and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book follows a model of modern pedagogy. It is interdisciplinary and uses specific examples to teach general principles. This text is organized into three main sections. The first section reviews aspects of solid mechanics, with topics normally covered in standard materials courses but also dealing with purer mechanics concepts of relevance in materials science. The second section deals with analytical and computational ideas. The third section is called Experimental Method though it is really a series of examples based on Prof. Prawoto's personal experience. This type of presentation- the use of particular examples to demonstrate broader concepts - is powerful.
