Description
Taylor & Francis Introduction To Engineering Materials 2Nd Edition by George Murray Charles V White
Designed for the general engineering student, Introduction to Engineering Materials, Second Edition focuses on materials basics and provides a solid foundation for the non-materials major to understand the properties and limitations of materials. Easy to read and understand, it teaches the beginning engineer what to look for in a particular material, offers examples of materials usage, and presents a balanced view of theory and science alongside the practical and technical applications of material science.Completely revised and updated, this second edition describes the fundamental science needed to classify and choose materials based on the limitations of their properties in terms of temperature, strength, ductility, corrosion, and physical behavior. The authors emphasize materials processing, selection, and property measurement methods, and take a comparative look at the mechanical properties of various classes of materials. Chapters include discussions of atomic structure and bonds, imperfections in crystalline materials, ceramics, polymers, composites, electronic materials, environmental degradation, materials selection, optical materials, and semiconductor processing.Features· Contains numerous photographs, structures, tables, and equations· Includes definitions and reference at the end of each chapter· Offers a numerical problem set, discussion-type questions, and an instructor’s manual· Uses case studies to bring industrial applications into perspective with the material bring discussed· Includes a pictorial approach to illustrate the fabrication of a composite· Prepares the student for more advanced specialized courses in polymers, composites, and electronic materialsConsolidating relevant topics into a logical teaching sequence, Introduction to Engineering Materials, Second Edition provides a concise source of useful information that can be easily translated to the working environment and prepares the new engineer to make educated materials selections in future industrial applications.
