Designing new structural materials, extending lifetimes and guarding against fracture in service are among the preoccupations of engineers, and to deal with these they need to have command of the mechanics of material behaviour. The first volume of this two-volume work deals with elastic and elastoplastic behaviour; this second volume continues with viscoelasticity, damage, fracture (resistance to cracking) and contact mechanics. As in Volume I, the treatment starts from the active mechanisms on the microscopic scale and develops the laws of macroscopic behaviour. Chapter I deals with...

Following the hugely successful Invasion Journal Pictorial, the first volume in the Memorial Album Collection, with sales of 60,000 copies since 1983, this new Memorial follows the campaign of the 1st US Army, step by step, from 7 June to 22 August 1944, from the beaches to the Falaise pocket, the battles for Cherbourg and Saint-Lo, and the breakout at Avranches.
A fantastic guide to the battle with present day color photos for comparison with black and white photos from the period"
