Materials are the stuff of design. From the very beginning of human
history, materials have been taken from the natural world and
shaped, modified, and adapted for everything from primitive tools
to modern electronics. This renowned book by noted materials
engineering author Mike Ashby and industrial designer Kara Johnson
explores the role of materials and materials processing in product
design, with a particular emphasis on creating both desired
aesthetics and functionality. The new edition will feature even
more of the highly useful "materials profiles" that give critical
design, processing, performance and applications criteria for each
material in question. The reader will find information ranging from
the generic and commercial names of each material, its physical and
mechanical properties, its chemical properties, its common uses,
how it is typically made and processed, and even its average price.
And with improved photographs and drawings, the reader will be
taken even more closely to the way real design is done by real
designers, selecting the optimum materials for a successful
product.
The best guide ever published on the on the role of materials, past
and present, in product development, by noted materials authority
Mike Ashby and professional designer Kara Johnson--now with even
better photos and drawings on the Design ProcessSignificant new
section on the use of re-cycled materials in products, and the
importance of sustainable design for manufactured goods and
servicesEnhanced materials profiles, with addition of new materials
types like nanomaterials, advanced plastics and bio-based materials
