Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, 3rd Edition
Michael Ashby
ISBN: 978-0-7506-6168-3
Understanding materials, their
properties and behavior is fundamental to engineering design, and
a key application of materials science. Written for all students
of engineering, materials science and design, this book 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

ISBN: 978-1-85617-497-8
Materials are the stuff of design. From the very beginning of human history, materials have been taken from the natural world and shaped, modified, and adapted for everything from primitive tools to modern electronics. This renowned book by noted materials engineering author Mike Ashby and Industrial designer, Kara Johnson, explores the role of materials and materials processing in product design, with a particular emphasis on creating both desired aesthetics and functionality. The new edition features even more of the highly useful "materials profiles," that give critical design, processing, performance and applications criteria for each material in question. This is the ideal text for industrial and product design courses as well as engineering courses that take a design-centric focus. And with improved photographs and drawings, the reader will be taken even more closely to the way real design is done by real designers, selecting the optimum materials for a successful product...
