ABSTRACT

The second volume in the author's three-part series, Properties of Materials uses the principles of classical mechanics to qualitatively and quantitatively model specific features of matter.The text develops linear models of elasticity to correlate and quantify the changes in an object's shape induced by the application of a constant force.
