Mechanical Behavior of Materials: Deformation and Design is the first textbook to adopt a design-led approach to the teaching of mechanical behavior of materials in which the underlying fundamental science is presented in the context of design. This approach has been found to help motivate and engage students through real-life case studies and illustrative applications. In addition to the design-led approach, Mishra and Charit cover newer content not found in other textbooks, such as recent advances in microstructural characterization techniques and up-to-date presentation of fundamentals that link the microstructure of engineering materials with realistic mechanical response.

Weathering: The Testing Manual provides guidelines and procedures for conducting weathering tests on various materials and products to simulate the effects of exposure. The methods of weathering discussed are based on requirements of ASTM, ISO, BS, Ford, GM, IEC, IEEE, MIL, PV, SAE, UL, and VDA standards. The book details the methods used, their differences, parameter settings, and hardware that is commercially available for performing the tests. Also included is information on sample preparation, evaluation methods, frequency of data collection, data analysis and interpretation, and reporting. Results of testing are compared with requirements of standards for different products. The book is an excellent companion piece to the Handbook of Weathering, 7th Edition, as well as The Encyclopedia of Polymer Degradation, the former serving as a monographic source of knowledge on various aspects of weathering, the latter outlining the limitations and challenges of presently conducted weathering studies to formulate needs and directions for transition from present comparative evaluation to knowledge-based utilization of existing resources. These three books together are powerful tools for chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, environmental chemists, legislators, teachers, and students.
