Experimental Techniques in Materials and Mechanics

By Cury Suryanarayana

Bridging the gap between lecture and lab, this text provides a detailed yet easy-to-follow treatment of various techniques useful for characterizing the structure and mechanical properties of materials. With an emphasis on techniques most commonly used in laboratories, the book enables readers to understand practical aspects of the methods and derive the maximum possible information from the experimental results. Background information and essential concepts are explained in an easy-to-understand way. Along with numerous illustrations and micrographs, each chapter includes worked-out examples, lab experiments, exercises, and references.
