Resumen:
|
This is one of the best text books I have ever read. Prof. Dieter has the exceptional ability to cover a wide range of topics in a clearly understandible, easy to read and perfectly comprehensible manner. Although the book is on mechanical behavior of metals, it can easily be used to learn the fundamental concepts of elasticity, plasticity, fracture mechanics and dislocation theory. These topics constitute the background to study the mechanical behavior of any material and Dieter's book teaches them in an elegant manner. Especially if you are a practicing metallurgist, this book will stay on your desk throughout your carreer and you'd refer to quite often. Although the price of the book is high, it is definitely worth spending your money on. It is a invaluable classic in the field of mechanical behavior of metals.
