Engineering Materials 2: An Introduction to Microstructures, Processing and Design Engineering Materials 2 is a best-selling stand-alone text in its own right for more advanced students of materials science and mechanical engineering, and is the follow-up to its renowned companion text, Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications & Design . This book develops a detailed understanding of the fundamental properties of engineering materials, how they are controlled by processing, formed, joined and finished, and how all of these factors influence the selection and design of materials in real-world engineering applications.

Page 232 - The rate of the reaction is controlled by the rate at which water molecules diffuse through the film, and thus depends on temperature as rateocexp(-Q/^r).
Page 197 - The maximum tensile stress in the surface of the beam when it breaks is called the modulus of rupture, ar.
Page 203 - ... thus a relatively smaller volume) carries the peak tensile stress (Fig. 18.2). That is why the modulus of rupture (Chapter 17, eqn. 17.2) is larger than the tensile strength. The Swedish engineer, Weibull, invented the following way of handling the statistics of strength. He defined the survival probability PS(V0) as the fraction of identical samples, each of volume V0, which survive loading to a tensile stress a. He then proposed that PXVo) = exp - (18.2) where crQ and m are constants.
Page 242 - So polymers are no more sensitive to energy prices than are most other commodities, and they are likely to be with us for a very long time to come. The generic polymers Thermoplastics Polyethylene is the commonest of the thermoplastics.
Page 309 - This gives the cell wall a modulus and strength which are large parallel to the axis of the cell and smaller (by a factor of about 3) across it.
Page 177 - ... the clay is fired, and spreads around the surface of the inert, but strong, crystalline phases, bonding them together. The important information is summarised in Table 15.2. High-performance engineering ceramics Diamond, of course, is the ultimate engineering ceramic; it has for many years been used for cutting tools, dies, rock drills, and as an abrasive. But it is expensive. The strength of a ceramic is largely determined by two characteristics: its toughness (Kc), and the size distribution...
