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�_T 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�_Ts 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.
