Books by Wole Soboyejo

This book provides a simple introduction to the subject of mechanical properties of engineered materials for undergraduate and graduate students. It covers essential principles required to understand and interpret the mechanical properties of different types of materials.

Featuring discussions on tensile and compressive properties, shear properties, strength, hardness, and creep crack growth, this work considers computation of principal stresses and strains, mechanical testing, plasticity in ceramics, metals, intermetallics, and polymers, the analysis of failure mechanisms such as fatigue, fracture and creep.
