Materials ― Engineering, Science, Processing and Design

Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design, Fourth Edition, is the essential materials engineering text for students who need to develop an understanding of materials properties and selection for engineering applications. Taking a unique, design-led approach that is broader in scope than other texts, the book meets the curriculum needs of a wide variety of courses in the materials and design field, including Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering, Engineering Materials, Materials Selection and Processing, and Behavior of Materials. This new edition retains its design-led focus and strong emphasis on visual communication while also expanding its coverage of material properties, in particular, non-metals.

• Provides a design-led approach that motivates and engages students in the study of materials science and engineering through real-life case studies and illustrative applications
• Highly visual full color graphics facilitate an understanding of materials concepts and properties
• Presents chapters on materials selection, design and fundamentals, thus helping students understand specific fundamentals in the design process
• Includes a solutions manual, lecture slides, online image bank and materials selection charts for use in class handouts or lecture presentations
