Engineering Materials: Properties and SelectionFor courses in Metallurgy and Materials Science. Co-authored by Kenneth G. Budinski and Michael K. Budinski, his son, with over 50 years of combined industry experience in the field, this practical, understandable introduction to engineering materials theory and industry-standard selection practices provides students with the working knowledge to (1) make an informed selection of materials for engineering applications and (2) correctly specify materials on drawings and purchasing documents. Encompassing all significant material systems metals, ceramics, plastics, and composites this text incorporates the most up-to-date information on material usage and availability, addresses the increasingly global nature of the field, and reflects the suggestions of numerous adopters of previous editions. |

... modulus or the elastic modulus . Young's modulus is analogous to a spring con- stant in that it is a measure of the relative elastic stiffness of a material . Example Figure 2-10 illustrates a 240 - in . ( 6.09 m ) -long spring steel ...
... modulus , fatigue strength , and stress rupture strength . Stiffness In engineering terms , the stiffness of a plastic is normally described as the modulus of elasti- city measured in tension . Often handbooks and plastics suppliers ...
... modulus modulus at a point in time is calculated by di- viding the applied stress by the creep strain at that same point in time . Most plastics suppliers supply creep data in the form of creep modulus curves . If the applied stress in ...
