Electronic Basis of the Strength of Materials

Klappentext Reference relating the strength characteristics of atoms to their electronic structure. Zusammenfassung This 2003 book relates the strength characteristics of constituent atoms to the electronic structures. It begins with short reviews of classical and quantum mechanics followed by reviews of the three major branches of the strength of materials: elastic stiffnesses; plastic responses; and the nature of fracture.
