5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Great Professor
Reviewed in the United States on 4 May 2013

This book is phenomenal. I had Dr. Dowling as a professor for my Advanced Mech. Behavior of Structures / Deformation & Fracture of Matl's classes at Virginia Tech, and we used this text for both classes. He is a true expert in his field, and his book is a solid representation of that. The text itself is easy to follow, the examples are well written, and there are very few typos. He used to hand out a few bucks to anyone in the class who found a new mistake, and that happened once over the course of the semester.

This book really is a great reference, and I don't see myself giving it up anytime soon. I've used it in undergad, grad school, and have referenced it for my thesis plenty of times. Generally it's difficult to find a textbook of such quality, but I highly recommend this to anyone in need of a great book in materials science, mechanical engineering, aerospace, etc...

I am an undergraduate mechanical engineering student doing research on designing for metal fatigue. I have done a reasonably thorough literature review of both journal articles and textbooks. I've raided most of my professors libraries and the school library as well. I found this book to be so helpful I purchased my own copy. It is very well written and easily accessible at the undergraduate level, not to say that it is basic. If you're trying to understand fatigue and fatigue life prediction you're going to need more than a chapter or two of Shigley's Engineering Design. Look up the table of contents on Pearson's website. Dowling's book is well organized, well written, and enjoyable to read. Pick up a used copy for a few dollars. You won't regret it.
P.S. If you're working with strain gauges and need to learn a little bit more about them, HBM's free reference book on their website is worth a read.

This is one must have book for engineers who want to have one deep understanting of the fatigue process. Very intersting to people involved with aeronautics and also automotive parts/systems design, subjected to fatigue stresses.

I would highly recommend this book. If you're into mech testing and fracture mechanics, it's hard to go wrong. I've got the 2nd ed.
