Mechanical properties - Orthopaedic Biomaterials in Research and Practice - page 76

2. Gillam E: Materials Under Stress . CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL, 1969.
An insightful but easy-to-read short work that discusses the mechanical
properties of materials by classes (metals, polymers, ceramics, and com-
posites). Considerable material on how the different types of bonds pro-
duce different internal structures.
3. Hayden HW, Moffatt WG, Wulff J: The Structure and Proper-
ties of Materials . Vol. III. John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1965.
This is part of a classic series of four volumes on materials science that
is still a standard source. Volume III deals with mechanical properties. See
Chapters 1, 4, and 7 especially.
4. Nash WA: Strength of Materials , 4th ed. McGraw-Hill, New York, 1998
(Schaum's Outline Series).
An engineering text, at the undergraduate level, that has an excel-
lent progression of problems with solutions on mechanics of materials.
Recommended for the reader who wishes to pursue the analytic aspects of
orthopaedic biomaterials.
5. O'Keefe R, Jacobs JJ, Chu CR, Einhorn RA, Editors. Orthopaedic
Basic Science 4 . American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Chicago,
2012.
Chapter 4 is a topical outline of orthopaedic biomaterials. Older editions
were accompanied by a slide set useful for teaching purposes.
6. Shackelford JF: Introduction to Materials Science for Engineers ,
7th ed. MacMillan, New York, 2008.
Despite the title, this topic is highly accessible to those who are not
engineers, with a simple orderly approach, solved problems, and excellent
illustrations. Chapter 1 deals with structure of materials, Chapter 2 deals
with bond types, and Chapter 7 deals with mechanical properties of metals.
