This fifth edition of a successful textbook continues to provide
students with an introduction to the basic principles of materials
science over a broad range of topics. The authors have revised and
updated this edition to include many new applications and recently
developed materials. The book is presented in three parts. The
first section discusses the physics, chemistry, and internal
structure of materials. The second part examines the mechanical
properties of materials and their application in engineering
situations. The final section presents the electromagnetic
properties of materials and their application. Each chapter begins
with an outline of the relevance of its topics and ends with
problems that require an understanding of the theory and some
reasoning ability to resolve. These are followed by self-assessment
questions, which test students' understanding of the principles of
materials science and are designed to quickly cover the subject
area of the chapter. This edition of Materials Science for
Engineers includes an expanded treatment of many materials,
particulary polymers, foams, composites and functional materials.
Of the latter, superconductors and magnetics have received greater
coverage to account for the considerable development in these
fields in recent years. New sections on liquid crystals,
superalloys, and organic semiconductors have also been added to
provide a comprehensive overview of the field of materials science.
This revised edition has been updated to include recent developments in ceramics, composites and semiconductor processes, and to take account of high-temperature super-conductors and amorphous materials. A new chapter on polymers and their mechanical properties has been added. The chapter on optical processes has been extended, and new sections on piezo-electric and ferro-electric materials have been included. A set of self-assessment questions and appendices on units and conversion factors, physical constants and physical properties of materials complete the text. The book assumes minimal knowledge of physics and chemistry.
