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.
