Product Description
Book Description
* Clear and concise discussions This text has received many accolades for its ability to clearly and concisely convey materials science and engineering concepts at an appropriate level to ensure student understanding. For examples see chapters 3, 4, 5 and 9.
* Mechanical property coverage The Sixth Edition maintains its extensive, introductory level coverage of mechanical properties and failure--the most important materials considerations for many engineers. For examples see chapters 6, 7, & 8.
* A picture is worth 1000 words! The Sixth Edition judiciously and extensively makes use of illustrations and photographs. The approximate 500 figures include a large number of photographs that show the microstructure of various materials (e.g., Figures 9.12, 10.8, 13.12, 14.15 and 16.5).
* Current and up-to-date Students are presented with the latest developments in Material Science and Engineering. Such up-to-date content includes advanced ceramic and polymeric materials, composites, high-energy hard magnetic materials, and optical fibers in communications. For examples see sections 13.7, 15.19, 16.8, 20.9, and 21.14.
* Why study?? These sections at the beginning of each chapter provide the student with reasons why it is important to learn the material covered in the chapter.
* Learning objectives A brief list of learning objectives for each chapter states the key learning concepts for the chapter.
* Resources to facilitate the materials selection process. Appendix B, which contains 11 properties for a set of approximately 100 materials, is included which be used in materials selection problems. An additional resource, Appendix C, contains the prices for all materials listed in Appendix B.
* The text is packaged with a CD-ROM that contains 1) interactive software modules to enhance visualization of three-dimensional objects, 2) additional coverage of select topics, and 3) complete solutions to selected problems from the text in order to assist students in mastering problem-solving.

From the Publisher
The latest edition of this bestselling textbook treats the important properties of three primary types of material--metals, ceramics, polymers--as well as composites. Describes the relationships that exist between the structural elements of these materials and their characteristics. Emphasizes mechanical behavior and failure along with techniques used to improve the mechanical and failure properties in terms of alteration of structural elements. Individual chapters discuss each of the corrosion, electrical, thermal, magnetic, and optical properties plus economic, environmental, and societal issues. Features a design component which includes design examples, case studies, and design type problems and questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very prompt,
This review is from: Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction (Hardcover)
I was planning on getting this textbook used from our school book store, but it was over one hundred dollars even used. I found it here for a really good price. It came very promptly with no issues.

It is a textbook, after all.,
By Natasha Cooper (Venice, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction (Hardcover)
I purchased this book as a supplementary textbook for my Materials Engineering class. For this purpose, it was effective. There are few errors, and the index, glossary, and online content are very helpful. This book is well-written and easy to understand, at least for an undergrad student. I mean, it is a textbook after all. So, it serves it's purpose.

Great Introduction to Materials Science,

This review is from: Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction (Hardcover)
This textbook is a good, comprehensive introduction to material science. Its writing style is fairly dull, but at least it's concise and easy to understand. There is lots of reference material in the back of the book (such as density, melting/boiling points, and many other physical properties) and key points are highlighted well througout the book, which makes it useful as a reference book. This book is great for two types of people: those that will be specializing in materials science and need an introduction to it, and those who won't be specializing in materials science but need an overview of the topic.
