Introduction to the Mechanical Behavior of Steel provides insight into the formability of automotive steel, load-bearing capacity of construction steel, fatigue life of axles and bearings, and risk assessment for the fracture of line pipe steel. The book emphasizes approaches that can be applied in engineering practice. Steel mechanical behavior includes a diversity of strengthening mechanisms, and the fundamentals of strength are illustrated by means of practical applications.
