Mechanical Behaviour And Testing Of Materials is a comprehensive book for undergraduate students of mechanical engineering and material science. The book discusses the basics of material science and explains how materials behave under load. It discusses what happens inside the molecular structure of materials when they are deformed and teaches students about elastic and plastic behavior. It progresses to discuss how material properties can be determined through tests, and helps students understand how these properties can be calculated. It explains material fracture, showing readers how each type of material experiences failure and breaks apart. In doing so, it discusses cup and cone fracture, and other forms showing how these fracture mechanisms are put into play. In addition, readers will benefit from the array of problems provided in the book, teaching them how to apply the concepts therein. A seminal book on the subject, it helps students acquire a holistic view on the subject and will aid their preparation for competitive exams such as GATE. About the Authors A. K. Bhargava and C. P.
