Long-Term Strength of Materials 1st Edition

Capture the future of structural reliability with Long-Term Strength of Materials, 1st Edition by Alexander Chudnovsky and Kalyan Sehanobish. This authoritative title tackles time-dependent behavior—creep, relaxation, fatigue, and viscoelasticity—so engineers, designers, and materials scientists can predict how structures perform over years, not just moments.

Grounded in rigorous theory yet driven by practical application, the book explains mathematical models and physical mechanisms in clear, accessible language. Detailed derivations sit alongside real-world examples from concrete, metals, polymers, and composites, helping readers translate abstract concepts into reliable design decisions. Emphasis on contemporary analytical techniques and experimental interpretation makes it an essential reference for structural engineers, researchers, and advanced students aiming to meet modern safety and durability standards.

What sets this edition apart is its balance of depth and usability: step-by-step problem-solving, graphical illustrations, and case analyses that demonstrate how long-term strength impacts bridges, buildings, pipelines, and aerospace components. Readers gain tools to estimate service life, optimize material selection, and apply time-dependent failure criteria across diverse climates and load conditions—from cold climates in Europe to humid environments in Asia-Pacific and hot regions worldwide.

Whether you’re preparing calculations for a design review or expanding your knowledge for research, Long-Term Strength of Materials offers both the theoretical foundation and practical insights needed for confident engineering decisions. Add this indispensable volume to your professional library today and build structures that stand the test of time.
