Riassunto

Widely adopted around the world, this is a core materials science and mechanical engineering text. Engineering Materials 1 gives a broad introduction to the properties of materials used in engineering applications. With each chapter corresponding to one lecture, it provides a complete introductory course in engineering materials for students with no previous background in the subject. Ashby & Jones have an established, successful track record in developing understanding of the properties of materials and how they perform in reality.

• One of the best-selling materials properties texts; well known, well established and well liked
• New student friendly format, with enhanced pedagogy including many more case studies, worked examples, and student questions
• World-renowned author team

Informazioni sugli autori

Dr. Jones is co-author of Engineering Materials 1 and 2 and lead author for the 3rd and 4th editions. He was the founder editor of Elsevier's journal Engineering Failure Analysis, and founder chair of Elsevier's International Conference on Engineering Failure Analysis series. His research interests are in materials engineering, and along with serving as President of Christ's College at the University of Cambridge he now works internationally advising major companies and legal firms on failures of large steel structures.

Mike Ashby is one of the world’s foremost authorities on materials selection. He is sole or lead author of several of Elsevier’s top selling engineering textbooks, including Materials and Design: The Art and Science of Material Selection in Product Design, Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, Materials and the Environment, Materials and Sustainable Development, and Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design. He is also co-author of the books Engineering Materials 1&2, and Nanomaterials, Nanotechnologies and Design.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Engineering Materials 1 gives a broad introduction to the properties of materials used in a wide range of engineering applications. It provides a complete course in engineering materials for students with no previous background in the subject.

The third edition has been revised, expanded and improved throughout. Chapters remain arranged in groups dealing with particular classes of properties and the coverage of the book progresses through property definitions, measurement, underlying principles and material selection data. The focus throughout is on the development of knowledge that will enable readers to understand and design materials with better properties.

New and key features include:

Detailed case studies with practical applications
Five new chapters covering aspects of fracture, fatigue and design with materials
Enhanced design and applications emphasis throughout
Expanded coverage of non-metallic materials, environmental impact, fractography and corrosion
Many more examples and exercises for class and homework use|Engineering Materials 1 gives a broad introduction to the properties of materials used in a wide range of engineering applications.
