Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, winner of a 2018 Textbook Excellence Award (Texty), describes the procedures for material selection in mechanical design in order to ensure that the most suitable materials for a given application are identified from the full range of materials and section shapes available. Recognized as the world’s leading materials selection textbook, it provides a unique and innovative resource for students, engineers, and product/industrial designers. Selected revisions to the new sixth edition ensure the book will continue to meet the needs of all those whose studies or careers involve selecting the best material for the project at hand. Includes new or expanded coverage of materials selection in areas such as additive manufacturing, biomedical manufacturing, digital manufacturing and cyber-manufacturingHybrid chapter has been enhanced and hybrid case studies have been expandedPresents improved pedagogy, including new worked examples throughout the text, case studies, homework problems and mini-projects to aid in student learningMaintains its hallmark features of full-colour presentation with numerous Ashby materials selection charts, high-quality illustrations and a focus on sustainable design INDICE: 1.
