Focusing on the theoretical concepts of stress and strain, this book provides a clear exploration of the strengthening and fracture mechanisms of engineering materials. It bridges the gap between specialized texts in mechanical behavior and accessible resources on material strength and structural design. Aimed at college students and practicing engineers, it serves as an introductory guide for those new to the mechanical behavior of materials or looking to enhance their understanding of material failure.

Focusing on the analysis of fracture surfaces in engineering materials, this book provides an accessible yet scientifically rigorous exploration of fractography and failure analysis. It covers various fracture mechanisms, including brittle, ductile, fatigue, and environmental fractures, along with methodologies for observing these surfaces. The final chapter emphasizes the application of fractography in identifying the causes of component failures. This resource is valuable for engineers, scientists, students, and professionals involved in materials science and failure investigations.
