The second volume in the author's three-part series, Properties of
Materials uses the principles of classical mechanics to
qualitatively and quantitatively model specific features of matter.
The text develops linear models of elasticity to correlate and
quantify the changes in an object's shape induced by the
application of a constant force. It describes quiescent and flowing
liquids and gases and examines the behavior of oscillating systems
subjected to time-dependent external applied forces. The author
employs linear superposition to analyze the combined effects of two
or more waves simultaneously present in a medium, such as standing
waves, beating, interference, and diffraction. The book considers
acoustics, including the production, propagation, and perception of
sound, as well as optics, including the laws of reflection and
refraction. It also treats temperature, heat, and thermometry
before applying the laws of thermodynamics to ideal gas systems.
Throughout the investigations of particular phenomena, the author
emphasizes the modeling of composite systems assembled from simple
constituents. This text extends the rigorous calculus-based
introduction to classical physics begun in his Elements of
Mechanics. With more than 300 problems, it can serve as a primary
textbook in an introductory physics course, as a student
supplement, or as an exam review for graduate or professional
studies. Solutions manual available upon qualifying course adoption
