This successful text provides a survey of virtually all important engineering materials - metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, electronic materials, and construction materials - while covering structures, physical and mechanical properties, corrosion, processing, and selection. Topics are presented in sufficient detail t make this book a valuable reference for students and practicing engineers alike. In the Third Edition, more than 100 new design examples challenge students to analyze the properties of materials when designing structures, parts, and systems. A completely redrawn art program, new two-color book design, and colorful photographic inserts help students visualize the structure and behavior of materials in specific applications. Substantially revised and updated chapters on ceramics, polymers, and electronic materials balance Askeland's traditionally strong treatment of metals.

About the Author:

Donald R. Askeland joined the University of Missouri-Rolla in 1970 after obtaining his doctorate in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Michigan. His primary interest has been in teaching, resulting in a variety of campus, university, and industry awards and the preparation of a materials engineering textbook. Dr. Askeland has also been active in research involving metals casting and metals joining, particularly in the production, treatment, and joining of cast irons, gating and fluidity of aluminum alloys, and optimization of casting processes. Additional work has concentrated on lost foam casting, permanent mold casting, and investment casting; much of this work has been interdisciplinary, providing data for creating computer models and validation of such models.
