Materials Science for Engineering Students

Materials Science for Engineering Students
Traugott Fischer
ISBN: 978-0-12-373587-4
Pub date: Oct 01, 2008

Materials Science for Engineering Students offers students of introductory materials science and engineering, and their instructors, a fresh perspective on the rapidly evolving world of advanced engineering materials. This new, concise text takes a more contemporary approach to materials science than the more traditional books in this subject, with a special emphasis on using an inductive method to first introduce materials and their particular properties and then to explain the underlying physical and chemical phenomena responsible for those properties. The text pays particular attention to the newer classes of materials, such as ceramics, polymers and composites, and treats them as part of two essential classes, structural materials and functional materials, rather than the traditional method of emphasizing structural materials alone....

Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications and Design, 3rd Edition

Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications and Design, 3rd Edition
Michael Ashby
David R H Jones
ISBN: 978-0-7506-6380-9

Widely adopted around the world, this is a core materials science and mechanical engineering text. Engineering Materials 1 gives a broad introduction to the properties of materials used in engineering applications. With each chapter corresponding to one lecture, it provides a complete introductory course in engineering materials for students with no previous background in the subject. Ashby & Jones have an established, successful track record in developing understanding of the properties of materials and how they perform in reality... [more]

Engineering Materials 2: An Introduction to Microstructures, Processing and Design, 3rd Edition

Engineering Materials 2: An Introduction to Microstructures, Processing and Design, 3rd Edition
Michael Ashby
David R H Jones

ISBN: 978-0-7506-6381-6

Engineering Materials 2 is a best-selling stand-alone text in its own right for more advanced students of materials science and mechanical engineering, and is the follow-up to its renowned companion text, Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications & Design . This book develops a detailed understanding of the fundamental properties of engineering materials, how they are controlled by processing, formed, joined and finished, and how all of these factors influence the selection and design of materials in real-world engineering applications...
