reports of their findings. The book provides the necessary background information and representative results for each experiment as well as essential testing steps for setting up an experiment. The experiments included in this book are drawn from the most important topics of an undergraduate course on Mechanical Behavior of Materials. At the end of each section, a set of questions for the particular experiment is given, which could be used as lab assignments of an undergraduate course of this kind. Mechanical Testing of Engineering Materials explores a variety of concepts that are organized into eight chapters: - Heat Treatment - Indentation Hardness - Monotonic Tensile Loading - Fracture Toughness - Time- and Rate-Dependent Deformation - Deformation Due to Cyclic Loading - Fatigue Testing - Wear Testing
