For upper-level undergraduate engineering courses in Mechanical Behavior of Materials. This respected text introduces the spectrum of mechanical behavior of materials, emphasizing practical engineering methods for testing structural materials to obtain their properties, and predicting their strength and life when used for machines, vehicles, and structures. With its logical treatment and ready-to-use format, it is ideal for upper-level undergraduate students who have completed elementary mechanics of materials courses.

Professor Dowling has done a remarkable job in presenting his material. "Mechanical Behavior of Materials" is pedagogically solid, enabling comfortable self-study for engineering students or practicing engineers. The coverage of deformation, static failure, and fatigue failure analyses are comprehensive, and yet sufficiently detailed to be applied in practice. Individual chapters are devoted to each of the three major fatigue analysis techniques, i.e., stress, strain, and fracture mechanics methods. Each are clearly and thoroughly explained, along with their applications and limitations. Also covered are a host of standard testing procedures, material properties for all major classes, plasticity, creep, relaxation, and material damping (a rarity). Altogether, Professor Dowling's book stands out as an exceptional example of what an engineering text should be. It is a very fine successor to an earlier, and still worthwhile work called "Stress, Strain, and Strength" by the late Professor Robert Juvinall. Another useful book, is "Metal Fatigue in Engineering", by Fuchs and Stephens.

I am working as a practicing engineer and in the file of stress analyis of pressure vessels and piping. To properly understand the requirements of ASME Boiler and Pressure vessel code, particularly the 2007 edition of the code, where knowledge of stress and strain controlled fatigue as well as fracture mechnaics approach is necessary, there is no better book than professor Dowling's book. It covers things in a very simple , lucid style and in a self contained way, so that reader need not look for other references to brush up related things. The approach is physical rather than highly mathematical. The only thing I miss after reading this book is not having studied under the tutelege of Professor Dowling.
