Description

This text provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of materials science and introduces them to materials behaviour. The author provides a foundation for further study in all areas of engineering. This third edition includes a new design component, in the form of design-oriented examples and problems. The author has also enhanced his coverage of classical metals topics with stronger coverage on nonmetallic materials.
