Designing new structural materials, extending lifetimes and
guarding against fracture in service are among the preoccupations
of engineers, and to deal with these they need to have command of
the mechanics of material behaviour. The first volume of this
two-volume work deals with elastic and elastoplastic behaviour;
this second volume continues with viscoelasticity, damage, fracture
(resistance to cracking) and contact mechanics. As in Volume I, the
treatment starts from the active mechanisms on the microscopic
scale and develops the laws of macroscopic behaviour. Chapter I
deals with viscoplastic behaviour, as shown, for example, at low
temperatures by the effects of oscillatory loads and at high
temperatures by creep under steady load. Chapter 2 treats damage
phenomena encountered in all materials - for example, metals,
polymers, glasses, concretes - such as cavitation, fatigue and
stress-corrosion cracking. Chapter 3 treats those concepts of
fracture mechanics that are needed for the understanding of
resistance to cracking and Chapter 4 completes the volume with a
survey of the main concepts of contact mechanics. As with Volume I,
each chapter has a set of exercises, either with solutions or with
indications of how to attack the problem; and there are many
explanatory diagrams and other illustrations.
