Hosford W.F. Mechanical Behavior of Materials

2nd ed. — Cambridge University Press, 2010. — 419 p.This text differs from other books on mechanical behavior in several aspects. The treatment of plasticity has greater emphasis on the interrelationship of the flow, effective strain, and effective stress, and their use in conjunction with yield criteria to solve problems. The treatment of defects is new. Schmid's law is generalized for complex stress states. Its use with strains allows for prediction of R values for textures. Another feature is the treatment of lattice rotations and how they lead to deformation textures. Most texts treat only strain relaxation and neglect stress relaxation. The chapter on fracture mechanics includes coverage of Gurney's approach. Most texts omit any coverage of residual stresses. Much of the analysis of particulate composites is new. Few texts include anything on metal forming. Throughout the text, there is more emphasis on quantitative problem solving than in most other texts. The notes at the end of the chapters are included to increase reader interest in the subject.Stress and Strain
