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 \u003cem\u003eVolume I\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792348955\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-0498-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 410\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46606886862988,"sku":"9780792348955","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792348955.jpg?v=1773276748","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792348955","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
