The 5th edition includes new end-of-chapter homework problems,
examples, illustrations, and a new chapter on products liability
and recall addressing the associated social consequences of product
failure. The new edition continues to discuss actual failure case
histories, and includes new discussion of the fracture behavior and
fractography of ceramics, glasses, and composite materials, and a
section on natural materials including bone and sea shells.
New co-authors Richard P. Vinci and Jason L. Hertzberg add their
talent and expertise to broaden the book's perspective, while
maintaining a balance between the continuum mechanics understanding
of the failure of solids and the roles of the material's nano- and
microstructure as they influence the mechanical properties of
materials.
