Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering: A Design-Led Approach

Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering: A Design-Led Approach is ideal for a first course in materials for mechanical, civil, biomedical, aerospace and other engineering disciplines. The authors' systematic method includes first analyzing and selecting properties to match materials to design through the use of real-world case studies and then examining the science behind the material properties to better engage students whose jobs will be centered on design or applied industrial research. As with Ashby's other leading texts, the book emphasizes visual communication through material property charts and numerous schematics better illustrate the origins of properties, their manipulation and fundamental limits. Present a design-led approach that motivates and engages students in the study of materials science and engineering through real-life case studies Incorporates highly visual, full color graphics to facilitate a further understanding of materials concepts and properties Provides chapters on materials selection and design that are integrated with chapters on materials fundamentals, enabling students to see how specific fundamentals can be important to the design process Includes a solutions manual, lecture slides, online image bank and materials selection charts for use in class handouts or lecture presentations INDICE: 1.
