Synopsis

The Science and Design of Engineering Materials, Second Edition, offers modem coverage of materials by asking the reader to think in terms of properties of materials. This is called an integrated approach because it stresses fundamental concepts applicable to all materials first, then points out the unique characteristics of each material class. The author team has the collective expertise to explain the important aspects of materials science and engineering and to do so in an interesting way by including familiar and technologically important applications. Some important changes to the second edition are : - Materials in Focus CD-ROM-each book comes with the Materials in Focus CD-ROM, designed by the authors to enhance the textbook for students and instructors. The CD-ROM contains a dynamic phase diagram. tool, over 30 animations of concepts from. the text, and photomicrographs ; from the text. Every item on the CD-ROM is directly linked to a concept, illustration, or problem in the text. - Materials in Action--each chapter begins with a motivational insert called Materials in Action. This feature introduces the reader to important concepts in the chapter through the use of real world events and applications. - New Problems-over 225 new homework problems have been added, including many design problems. Answers to Select Problems appear in an appendix. And a complete solutions manual is available to instructors who adopt the text. - http://www.mhhe.com/sdem2e - a Web site for the book bas been established to help instructors and students get the most from the text. It contains information about the book, supplements, important Web links, and teaching resources.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

James P. Schaffer is an associate professor of Chemical Engineering at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania. After receiving his B.S. in mechanical engineering (1981) and his M.S. (1982) and Ph.D. (1985) in materials science and engineering from Duke University, he taught at the Georgia Institute of Technology for five years before moving to Lafayette in 1990. He has taught an introductory materials engineering course to more than 1200 undergraduate students using the integrated approach taken in this text. Dr. Schaffer's field of research is the characterization of atomic scale defects in materials using positron annihilation spectroscopy along with associated techniques. Professor Schaffer holds two patents and has published more than 30 papers. He has received a number of teaching awards including the Ralph R. Teetor Educational Award (SAE, 1989), Jones Lecture Award (Lafayette College, 1994), Distinguished Teaching Award (Middle Atlantic Section of ASEE, 1996), Superior Teaching Award (Lafayette Student Government, 1996), Marquis Distinguished Teaching Award (Lafayette College, 1996), and the George Westinghouse Award (ASEE, 1998). He is a member of ASEE, ASM International, TMS, Tau Beta Pi, and Sigma Xi. Ashok Saxena is currently professor and chair of the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Professor Saxena received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Cincinnati in materials science and metallurgical engineering in 1972 and 1974, respectively. After eleven years in industrial research laboratories, he joined Georgia Tech in 1995 as a professor of materials engineering. He assumed the chairmanship of the school in 1993. From 1991 to 1994, he also served as the director of the Campus-Wide Composites Education and Research Center. Dr. Saxenas primary research area is mechanical behavior of materials, in which he bas published over 125 scientific papers and bas edited several books. His research in the area of creep and creep-fatigue crack growth has won international acclaim ; he was awarded the 1992 George Irwin Medal for it by ASTM. He is also the recipient of the 1994 ASTM Award of Merit. Professor Saxena is an ASTM Fellow, a Fellow of ASM International, and a member of ASEE, TMS, Sigma Xi, and Alpha Sigma Mu. Stephen D. Antolovich is currently a professor of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Washington State University, where he also serves as director of the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. He received his B.S. and M.S. in metallurgical engineering from the University of Wisconsin in 1962 and 1963, respectively, and a Ph.D. in materials science from the University of California-Berkeley in 1966. He joined the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1983, where he served as professor of materials engineering, director of the Mechanical Properties Research Laboratory (MPRL), and director of the School of Materials Science and Engineering. In 1988 Dr. Antolovich was presented with the Reaumur Medal from the French Metallurgical Society. In 1989 he was named Professeur Invite by CNAM University in Paris. In 1990 he was presented with the Nadai Award by the ASME., Dr. Antolovich regularly makes presentations to learned societies in the United States, Europe, Canada, and Korea and has carried out funded research/consultation for numerous government agencies. Dr. Antolovich has published over 100 archival articles in leading technical journals. His'major research interests are in the areas of deformation, fatigue, and fracture, especially at high temperatures. He is a member of ASME, ASTM, and AIME, and a Fellow Member of ASM International. Thomas H. Sanders, Jr., is currently Regents'Professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Professor Sanders received his B.S. and M. S in ceramic engineering from Georgia Tech in 1966 and 1969, respectively. In 1974 he completed his research for his Ph. D in metallurgical engineering at Georgia Tech and joined the Physical Metallurgy Division of Alcoa Technical Center, Alcoa Center, Pennsylvania. While at Alcoa Center his major research efforts were directed toward developing and implementing processing microstructure - properties relationships for high-strength aluminum alloys used in aerospace applications. He was on the faculty in Materials Science and Engineering at Purdue University from 1980 to 1986 and joined the faculty at Georgia Tech in 1987. He was awarded the W. Roane Beard Outstanding Teacher Award for 1994. Dr. Sanders's primary research area is physical metallurgy of materials with primary emphasis on aluminum alloys. He has published approximately 100 scientific papers and has edited several books. He was awarded a Fulbright grant in 1992 to conduct research at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (ONERA), Châtillon, France. Professor Sanders is a member of TMS and a Fellow of ASM. Steven B. Warner is Professor and Chairperson of the Textile Sciences Department, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. Dr. Warner earned his combined S.B. and S.M. degrees in metallurgy and ceramics in 1973 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1976 he was awarded an Sc.D. from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT. He was a research scientist from 1976-1982 at Celanese Research Co. and from 1982-1988 at Kimberly-Clark Corp.
