A balanced mechanics-materials approach and coverage of the latest developments in biomaterials and electronic materials, the new edition of this popular text is the most thorough and modern book available for upper-level undergraduate courses on the mechanical behavior of materials To ensure that the student gains a thorough understanding the authors present the fundamental mechanisms that operate at micro- and nano-meter level across a wide-range of materials, in a way that is mathematically simple and requires no extensive knowledge of materials This integrated approach provides a conceptual presentation that shows how the microstructure of a material controls its mechanical behavior, and this is reinforced through extensive use of micrographs and illustrations New worked examples and exercises help the student test their understanding Further resources for this title, including lecture slides of select illustrations and solutions for exercises, are available online at wwwcambridgeorg/97800521866758read more

Remarkable shape memory effect of a natural biopolymer in aqueous environment
Zisen Liu,Da Jiao,Z.F. Zhang +2 more
TL;DR: A kinetic model developed from non-equilibrium thermodynamic fluctuation theory was adopted to describe the shape recovery process by considering the viscoelastic relaxation and mechanisms were explored based on the lubrication, swelling effect and structural changes of macromolecular chains or segments in terms of their mobility.

A novel approach for determining fracture toughness of hard coatings on the micrometer scale
A. Riedl,Rostislav Daniel,Mario Stefenelli,Thomas Schöberl,Otmar Kolednik,Christian Mitterer,Jozef Keckes +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method is introduced enabling characterization of the mechanical properties of hard coatings on the microscale, based on bending experiments of chemically etched and focused ion beam shaped free-standing coating microcantilevers.

A review of the extended finite element method on macrocrack and microcrack growth simulations
Huan Li,Jinshan Li,Huang Yuan +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of brittle and ductile crack growth under both monotonic and cyclic loadings using the XFEM was given from both macro-scale and micro-scale after a systematic literature survey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unexpected strain-stiffening in crystalline solids
TL;DR: It is shown via quantum-mechanical calculations that strain-stiffening also occurs, surprisingly, in simple inorganic crystalline solids and confers exceptionally high strengths to these two solids, which have anomalously low resistance to deformation near equilibrium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rigid frictionless indentation on elastic half space with influence of surface stresses
TL;DR: In this paper, a complete Gurtin-Murdoch continuum model for surface elasticity is employed for the analysis of an axisymmetric rigid frictionless indentor acting on an isotropic, linearly elastic half-space accounted for surface energy effects.
