Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Excellent book, well laid out, logical order. Easy to include logically in a lecture course. Good case study examples. Very suitable as introduction to materials science. Covers complete course. Easy to read, same order of topics as lecturers."
"As an introduction to materials technology, it is the best book available. It is ideal for my second level 'Materials Technology' module (fast fracture, creep, fatigue, oxidation and corrosion)... Excellent readability." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Publisher
The chapters are arranged in groups, each group describing a particular class of properties: the Elastic Moduli; the Fracture Toughness; Resistance to Corrosion; and so forth. Each group of chapters starts by defining the property, describing how it is measured, and providing a table of data for solving problems involving the selection and use of materials. Then the basic science underlying each property is examined to provide the knowledge with which to design materials with better properties. Each chapter group ends with a case study of practical application and each chapter ends with a list of books for further reading. To further aid the student, there are sets of examples (with answers) at the end of the book intended to consolidate or develop a particular point covered in the text. There is also a list of useful aids and demonstrations (including how to prepare them) in order to facilitate teaching of the material.

Need's example problems,
By A Customer
This review is from: Engineering Materials Volume 1, Second Edition (v. 1) (Paperback)
This book covers the material well, but it doesn't provide any worked example problems that display the application of equations or techniques. Any book intended to be a text book for engineering students should provide numerous worked example problems for students. The worked problems are a much better refresher for future reference than rereading the text.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Awesome,
This review is from: Engineering Materials Volume 1, Second Edition (v. 1) (Paperback)
I don't know why but this book really enabled my transition into an appreciation for 'engineering science' and then gave way to graduate study. Realizing that there is a certain logical behavior to materials behavior, which may be understood on very intuitive physical terms. So for that reason I recommend this to other students. I may be biased because things started to make sense to me after this book, and I don't know how much of that to attribute to the books writing, but I attribute a lot.
