Materials: engineering, science, processing and design

The 3rd edition of Materials is the essential materials engineering text and resource for students developing skills and understanding of materials properties and selection for engineering applications. Taking a unique design-led approach broader in scope than other texts, this book meets the curriculum needs of many courses in the materials and design field, including introduction to materials science and engineering, engineering materials, materials selection and processing, and materials in design. This new edition retains its design-led focus and strong emphasis on visual communication while expanding the scope of the underlying science of materials to fully meet the needs of instructors teaching an introductory course in materials. Design-led approach motivates and engages students in the study of materials science and engineering through real-life case studies and illustrative applicationsFull-color graphics facilitate understanding of materials concepts and propertiesChapters on materials selection and design are integrated with chapters on materials fundamentals, enabling students to see how fundamentals affect the design processFor instructors, a solutions manual, lecture slides, online image bank and materials selection charts for use in class available at http://textbooks.elsevier.com Links with the Cambridge Engineering Selector (CES EduPack), the powerful materials selection software; see grantadesign.com for information   NEW TO THIS EDITION: Text and figures revised and updated throughoutThe number of worked examples has been increased by 50%The number of standard end-of-chapter exercises in the text has been doubledCoverage of materials and the environment has been updated with a new section on Sustainability and Sustainable Technology INDICE: Introduction: materials - history and character; Organizing materials and processes; Matching material to design; Density and elastic moduli; GL1 - Simnple ideas of crystallography; Stiffness-limited design; Plasticity, yielding and ductility; Strength-limited design; Fracture and fracture toughness; Cyclic loading, damage and failure; Fracture-limited design; Friction and wear; Materials and heat; Using Materials at high temperatures; Conductors, insulators and dielectrics; Magnetic Materials; Materials for Optical Devices; Oxidation, corrosion and degradation; Manufacturing processes; Processing and properties; GL2 - Phase diagrams and phase transformations; Materials, processes and the environment; Appendix - Data for engineering materials
