Synopsis

The text of this introduction to engineering materials selection has been modified to include recent information on material development. The chapter on joining has been widened to include a more detailed consideration of the welding abilities of steels, plastics and adhesion. The properties and use of non-metallic materials and high temperature materials are examined, and the section on materials for aircraft structures has been revised to include a consideration of aluminium-lithium and magnesium and its alloys. A new chapter on materials for automobile structures has been included as a method of introducing a consideration of a typical field in which there is growing competition between the traditional use of steel and the increasing application of reinforced polymers. The development of new computer databases for materials and associated materials selection programs are outlined, and investigative case studies are included at the end of the text.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Selection and Use of Engineering Materials provides an understanding of the basic principles of materials selection as practised in engineering manufacture and design with an overview of established materials usage. Emphasis is placed on identifying service requirements and how materials relate to those requirements, rather than listing materials and describing applications.

This edition has been revised throughout and now includes coverage of the use of new materials in engineering, materials for bearings and tribological usage, and the use of materials in civil engineering structures. It has also been expanded to include more case studies and worked examples in order to provide tangible and interactive contact with the content matter. The book also contains a detailed consideration of the weldability of steels, the welding of plastics and adhesion. programmes. An example of this development is the inclusion of a chapter detailing the use of materials in automobile structures; a field in which the traditional use of steel is being displaced as the application of reinforced polymers becomes more widespread. The book also reflects the growing use of computerized databases and materials selection programmes.

• Core subject area for all engineering and materials degrees
• Complementary to Materials Selection in Mechanical Design (Ashby)
• Includes case studies and worked examples
