Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
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. Filled with case studies
to bring industrial applications into perspective with the material
being discussed, the text also includes a pictorial approach to
illustrate the fabrication of a composite.
Consolidating 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 industrialapplications.
Reflecting the rapid advances in new materials development, this
work offers up-to-date information on the properties and
applications of various classes of metals, polymers, ceramics and
composites. It aims to simplify the materials selection process and
show how to lower materials and manufacturing costs, drawing on
such sources as vendor supplied and quality control test data.

Based on the Second World War, this narrative poem, with its
evocative drawings, captures the devastation of this global war and
the dramatic events that took place. It is the author's dedication
to the courage displayed by men and women of every participating
nation, but especially by those who fought for the ideals of
freedom and justice against tyranny and humanity. This narrative
poem seeks to give a comprehensive view of the most extensive and
devastating war that has ever occurred. It deals with both the
West, where fighting was prolonged in Europe, North Africa and on
the sea, and also the Far East, where predominantly American forces
fought the Japanese. The British role includes accounts of the
Dambusters' raid and General Slim's campaign in Burma. The
chronological narrative recounts major events, such as the fall of
France, the battle of Britain, Hitler's invasion of Russia, the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, the battle of El Alamein, the
fall of Italy, the Normandy invasion, far eastern naval battles,
the final collapse of Nazi Germany and the dropping of atomic bombs
on Japan. Its focus on military strategy, tactics and descriptions
of battles is enhanced by details relating to the war conferences
between the Allied leaders. Integral features of the war such as
the atrocities against the Jews, the efforts of the French
resistance and the Stauffenberg plot to kill Hitler are not
overlooked. The inspiration that motivated the writing of the book
was not only the courage displayed by men and women fighting for
freedom and justice, but also the moral principle that drove the
war to its conclusion in the defeat of the Nazis and the Japanese
warlords; namely the belief that civilisation depends upon the
defence of the traditional values of respect for law,
representative democracy and, ultimately, upon love of one's
neighbour.
