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.
A concise introduction to structural dynamics and earthquake
engineering
"Basic Structural Dynamics "serves as a fundamental introduction
to the topic of structural dynamics. Covering single and
multiple-degree-of-freedom systems while providing an introduction
to earthquake engineering, the book keeps the coverage succinct and
on topic at a level that is appropriate for undergraduate and
graduate students. Through dozens of worked examples based on
actual structures, it also introduces readers to MATLAB, a powerful
software for solving both simple and complex structural dynamics
problems.
Conceptually composed of three parts, the book begins with the
basic concepts and dynamic response of single-degree-of-freedom
systems to various excitations. Next, it covers the linear and
nonlinear response of multiple-degree-of-freedom systems to various
excitations. Finally, it deals with linear and nonlinear response
of structures subjected to earthquake ground motions and structural
dynamics-related code provisions for assessing seismic response of
structures. Chapter coverage includes: Single-degree-of-freedom
systemsFree vibration response of SDOF systemsResponse to harmonic
loadingResponse to impulse loadsResponse to arbitrary dynamic
loadingMultiple-degree-of-freedom systemsIntroduction to nonlinear
response of structuresSeismic response of structures
If you're an undergraduate or graduate student or a practicing
structural or mechanical engineer who requires some background on
structural dynamics and the effects of earthquakes on structures,
"Basic Structural Dynamics "will quickly get you up to speed on the
subject without sacrificing important information.
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.
