Of enormous theoretical and practical significance, this groundbreaking work represents a new stage in the development of the science of material strength. The author sets forth the derivation, explanation, and practical applications of the thermodynamic equation of state of solids. His approach provides a general methodology for treating all the physical and mechanical properties of materials, regardless of nature and physical state. It opens the door to systematic ways to design materials, control their operating ...

Of enormous theoretical and practical significance, this groundbreaking work represents a new stage in the development of the science of material strength. The author sets forth the derivation, explanation, and practical applications of the thermodynamic equation of state of solids. His approach provides a general methodology for treating all the physical and mechanical properties of materials, regardless of nature and physical state. It opens the door to systematic ways to design materials, control their operating properties, and predict their behavior under specific operating conditions. With this work, the author helps move materials science from one of empiricism to one of analysis.
