Inhaltsangabe

The book introduces practical aspects of mechanical characterisation of materials and structures. It gives those with little or no prior experience insight into the process of developing everyday products, issues behind some high-profile failures, and tools to begin planning a programme of research.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

David Jesson is a Materials Scientist by profession, training, and inclination: he is a Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals, and Mining, and is both a Chartered Engineer and a Chartered Scientist. Following an undergraduate degree in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Surrey, he undertook research leading to a PhD on the effects of nanoscale phases for the toughening of composite materials. On completion of his doctorate, he took a post as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow investigating the impact of in-service degradation on the performance of cast iron assets in the water industry, eventually leading into fifteen years of research and laboratory management. In 2021 he left academia to join the Materials Performance Group at Frazer-Nash Consultancy.
