Engineering Materials ― Research, Applications and Advances

Rapid advancement in electron-based computers or probable light-based computers in future; changes in electronics engineering from vacuum valves to very large scale microchips (VLSC); cement concrete (CC) to polymer reinforced concrete (PRC) in civil engineering; pure metals to duplex stainless steel (DSS) in mechanical engineering; wood to ferroelectrics, and ordinary steel to ferrites in electrical engineering are some illustrations which became possible due to developments in materials science. This book introduces emerging engineering materials with the inclusion of recent topics.

Dr. K.M. Gupta is a professor in the Department of Applied Mechanics, Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad, India.
