Synopsis

Intended for electrical engineers (rather than materials scientists), Materials Science for Electrical and Electronics Engineers explains the common origin of the electrical and mechanical properties in solids with clarity and simplicity, using numerous effective examples.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is a book for electrical and electronic engineers, not for materials scientists. Every explanation is rendered in its simplest and clearest form and as many relevant examples are included as possible. At every point, the author makes clear the direct relevance of every topic to the reader's main course of study: electrical and electronic engineering. The central theme is that the type of bonding in a solid not only controls its electrical properties but also, and just as directly, its mechanical properties and how things are made from it. Thus the reason why a copper wire can conduct electricity is exactly the same reason it can be drawn into a wire in the first place. The reason why a piece of porcelain does not conduct electricity is the same as why it cannot be rolled into its final shape as copper could and thus has to be made directly. This common origin of electrical and mechanical properties dictates the structure of the book.

Revue de presse

"The style of writing is concise, at times light-hearted and delightfully unpretentious. The text covers what is needed at first-year undergraduate level without deluging the reader with unnecessary detail"......."The Refreshingly relaxed style makes difficult concepts easy to understand and remember". The Times Higher Education Supplement, November 2002.
