Electronic Basis of the Strength of Materials Summary

Electronic Basis of the Strength of Materials by John J. Gilman (University of California, Los Angeles)

This 2003 book relates the complete set of strength characteristics of constituent atoms to their electronic structures. These relationships require knowledge of both the chemistry and physics of materials. The book uses both classical and quantum mechanics, since both are needed to describe these properties, and begins with short reviews of each. Following these reviews, the three major branches of the strength of materials are given their own sections. They are: the elastic stiffnesses; the plastic responses; and the nature of fracture. This work will be of great value to academic and industrial research workers in the sciences of metallurgy, ceramics, microelectronics and polymers. It will also serve well as a supplementary text for the teaching of solid mechanics.

Electronic Basis of the Strength of Materials Reviews

Review of the hardback: 'An invaluable read for academic and industrial research workers in the sciences of metallurgy, ceramics and microelectronics.' Materials World Including International Mining and Materials
Review of the hardback: 'A comprehensive review of the relationship between the electronic structures of solids, and the microscopic and macroscopic mechanical properties of solid materials. An invaluable read for academic and industrial research workers in the sciences of metallurgy, ceramics and microelectronics.' Materials World
Review of the hardback: ' Gilman, in his new book, offers his unique perspective to provide simple, unifying concepts that connect a variety of observations Electronic Basis of the Strength of Materials is a worthy read.' Physics Today
Review of the hardback: 'Gilman's book represents an impressive accomplishment. It connects bonding with elasticity, plasticity, and fracture of materials. It does this at a level that can be comfortably assimilated by a graduate student, avoiding unnecessary esoteric convolutions of theory and explaining basic facts that are avoided in other textbooks.' MRS Bulletin
