Required Text for Class
Deformation and Fracture Mechanics of Engineering Materials by
Deformation and Fracture Mechanics of Engineering Materials provides a combined fracture mechanics-materials approach to the fracture of engineering solids with comprehensive treatment and detailed explanations and references, making it the perfect resource for senior and graduate engineering students, and practicing engineers alike. The 5th edition includes new end-of-chapter homework problems, examples, illustrations, and a new chapter on products liability and recall addressing the associated social consequences of product failure. The new edition continues to discuss actual failure case histories, and includes new discussion of the fracture behavior and fractography of ceramics, glasses, and composite materials, and a section on natural materials including bone and sea shells. New co-authors Richard P. Vinci and Jason L. Hertzberg add their talent and expertise to broaden the book's perspective, while maintaining a balance between the continuum mechanics understanding of the failure of solids and the roles of the material's nano- and microstructure as they influence the mechanical properties of materials.

Getting Started
This guide provides links to electronic books, databases, material property comparisons, and much more with the intention of assisting you with your work in MTE455. Below is a link to your required text for the class, as well as a link for a digital folder of supplemental materials through our engineering reference platform, Knovel. If you have any questions regarding this guide, or any questions about using the library, please feel free to contact me (Lance Simpson), directly by email at lsimpson@ua.edu. Looking forward to working with you all this semester!
Thanks,
Lance
