"The book is intended for a first-level graduate course on mechanical properties of materials. However; it would also be very useful for engineers and researchers without a background in material science, but who still need to learn about the mechanical properties of materials." - IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, Vol. 19, No. 6, Nov./Dec. 2003 Promo Copy
