Volume II of this work examines fracture mechanics and damage, contact mechanics, friction and wear, linking active mechanisms on the microscopic scale with the laws of macroscopic behaviour. Includes numerous explanatory diagrams and illustrations.

Designing new structural materials, extending lifetimes and guarding against fracture in service are among the preoccupations of engineers, and to deal with these they need to have command of the mechanics of material behaviour.

This book has been rigorously re-written and updated for its second edition to offer the latest findings in the mechanical behaviour of materials. Includes chapter-end exercises, and many explanatory diagrams and electron-microscope photographs.
