[交流] Norman E. Dowling 巨作-----Mechanical behavior of materials 4th edition已有6人参与

Product Description
For upper-level undergraduate engineering courses in Mechanical Behavior of Materials.
Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 4/e introduces the spectrum of mechanical behavior of materials, emphasizing practical engineering methods for testing structural materials to obtain their properties, and predicting their strength and life when used for machines, vehicles, and structures. With its logical treatment and ready-to-use format, it is ideal for practicing engineers and upper-level undergraduates who have completed elementary mechanics of materials courses.

Professor Dowling has done a remarkable job in presenting his material. "Mechanical Behavior of Materials" is pedagogically solid, enabling comfortable self-study for engineering students or practicing engineers. The coverage of deformation, static failure, and fatigue failure analyses are comprehensive, and yet sufficiently detailed to be applied in practice. Individual chapters are devoted to each of the three major fatigue analysis techniques, i.e., stress, strain, and fracture mechanics methods. Each are clearly and thoroughly explained, along with their applications and limitations. Also covered are a host of standard testing procedures, material properties for all major classes, plasticity, creep, relaxation, and material damping (a rarity). Altogether, Professor Dowling's book stands out as an exceptional example of what an engineering text should be. It is a very fine successor to an earlier, and still worthwhile work called "Stress, Strain, and Strength" by the late Professor Robert Juvinall. Another useful book, is "Metal Fatigue in Engineering", by Fuchs and Stephens.

I am working as a practicing engineer and in the file of stress analyis of pressure vessels and piping. To properly understand the requirements of ASME Boiler and Pressure vessel code, particularly the 2007 edition of the code, where knowledge of stress and strain controlled fatigue as well as fracture mechnaics approach is necessary, there is no better book than professor Dowling's book. It covers things in a very simple , lucid style and in a self contained way, so that reader need not look for other references to brush up related things. The approach is physical rather than highly mathematical. The only thing I miss after reading this book is not having studied under the tutelege of Professor Dowling.

This book is outstanding in its technical content and writing clarity. I actually had the pleasure to learn the material from Professor Dowling himself and his clear method of teaching is reflected in his writing. The book provides a solid theoretical and practical foundation on failure criteria, fracture mechanics and the mechanics of fatigue. In my case, I went on and studied several of the topics presented in the book in more detail but Professor Dowling's book is still my number one reference.
Professor Dowling has actually worked in the industry and the examples and exercises are real problems made with real data.
The only problem I have with the book is that I can't keep it on my shelf as my coworkers keep borrowing it.
Some might argue that the book price is high but this book is one of those you can't put a price tag on. If you really think of it economically, the book is a great investment (a no brainer).

目前正在阅读这本书籍，现传上该书的前四章，都是自己用照相机一张张拍的，此外，相机还是借实验室同事的。请喜欢的朋友给个好评价，剩余章节陆续上传，敬请期待。
