New images demonstrating failure have been included, and images from the previous edition are reproduced in color and enhanced with additional explanatory detail.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a dedicated focus on polymeric materials, the book includes details on the experimental techniques that are used to characterize the materials, particularly in cases of failure. Finally, the book has information on the fabrication of polymer devices, as manufacturing flaws often play a role in failure. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Rhys Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0081010559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780081010556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Woodhead Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Peter Rhys Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013700006143,"sku":"9780081010556","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8f5afec-8961-4782-ac6c-c2128221ac99.jpg?v=1767744223","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/forensic-polymer-engineering-peter-rhys-lewis-9780081010556","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
