Dynamic Behavior of Materials 1st Edition

Capture the forefront of materials science with Dynamic Behavior of Materials, 1st Edition by Mikko Hokka — an essential resource for engineers, researchers, and advanced students seeking a practical yet rigorous introduction to how materials respond under dynamic loading.

This book opens with clear explanations of fundamental concepts — wave propagation, impact mechanics, high strain-rate plasticity, viscoelasticity, and fracture dynamics — then moves into analytical models and experimental approaches that connect theory to real-world performance. Hokka’s balanced presentation makes complex mathematics accessible without sacrificing technical depth, ideal for coursework, research, or professional reference.

Readers will appreciate the book’s emphasis on application: worked examples, problem-solving strategies, and engineering interpretations that illuminate how material microstructure and loading conditions interact during rapid events. Whether you’re modeling crashworthiness, designing protective systems, or interpreting high-rate test data, this text delivers practical insights that accelerate decision-making and innovation.

Globally relevant, Dynamic Behavior of Materials supports practitioners across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond, aligning academic rigor with industry needs. Clear figures, structured chapters, and concise summaries make it suitable for semester courses and self-directed study alike.
