Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design

is the essential materials engineering text and resource for students developing skills and understanding of materials properties and selection for engineering applications. Taking a unique design-led approach that is broader in scope than other texts, Materials meets the curriculum needs of a wide variety of courses in the materials and design field, including introduction to materials science and engineering, engineering materials, materials selection and processing, and behavior of materials. This new edition retains its design-led focus and strong emphasis on visual communication while expanding its coverage of the physical basis of material properties, and process selection.

Design-led approach

motivates and engages students in the study of materials science and engineering through real-life case studies and illustrative applications

Visual communication

Highly visual full color graphics facilitate understanding of materials concepts and properties

Chapter integration

Chapters on materials selection and design are integrated with chapters on materials fundamentals, enabling students to see how specific fundamentals can be important to the design process

Resources for instructors

A solutions manual, lecture slides, and image bank are available at https://educate.elsevier.com/book/details/9780081023761
