Publisher's Synopsis
""Plasticity and Creep of Metals"" is a comprehensive book that explores the fundamental concepts of plasticity and creep in metals. Written by Jack Douglas Lubahn, this book is part of the Wiley Series on the Science and Technology of Materials. The book covers various topics related to the plastic behavior of metals, including the mechanical properties of metals, the mechanisms of plastic deformation, and the effects of temperature and strain rate on plasticity. The book also delves into the phenomenon of creep in metals, which is the time-dependent deformation of materials under constant load. It covers the mechanisms of creep, the factors that affect creep behavior, and the methods used to predict and measure creep. The book also discusses the practical applications of plasticity and creep in various fields, such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing.The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of materials science and engineering. It includes numerous examples, illustrations, and problems to help readers understand the concepts presented. Overall, ""Plasticity and Creep of Metals"" is an essential reference for anyone interested in the mechanical behavior of metals and their applications in various industries.Additional Editors Are J. E. Burke, B. Chalmers, R. L. Sproull, And A. V. Tobolsky.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
