The Principles of Materials Selection for Engineering Design

Front Cover
Prentice Hall, 1999 - Technology & Engineering - 824 pages

Written for an undergraduate Engineering Materials course in Mechanical, and Aerospace, as well as for a general course in Materials Science and Engineering, this up-to-date text offers a solid, basic background on how materials properties arise from their structures, are affected by processing, and are used in design. It exposes students to the "real-world" of integrated and concurrent engineering, as well as life cycle analyses. It stresses that materials selection be made and based on the entire spectrum of processing materials which includes melting, refining, solidification, deformation, heat-treating, and fabrication.
