Science and technology will play a critical role, but not the only role, in realizing the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals. Not only must we observe the cultural context of scientific and technological interventions, we must respect the innovative capacity of those with different backgrounds. This book presents case studies concerning technological interventions in global health, the environment, agriculture, and their ethics.

This book provides a simple introduction to the subject of mechanical properties of engineered materials for undergraduate and graduate students. It covers essential principles required to understand and interpret the mechanical properties of different types of materials.

Featuring discussions on tensile and compressive properties, shear properties, strength, hardness, and creep crack growth, this work considers computation of principal stresses and strains, mechanical testing, plasticity in ceramics, metals, intermetallics, and polymers, the analysis of failure mechanisms such as fatigue, fracture and creep.
