Features: This book primarily discusses the deformation and fracture of materials under various conditions, with comprehensive and rich content. It integrates macroscopic mechanical properties with microstructural changes, especially providing extensive supplements on the mechanical properties of polymers, ceramics, and composite materials, along with comparisons to metallic materials. Each chapter concludes with summaries and a large number of exercises, which are well-balanced in difficulty, making them convenient for teaching.
