This introductory text is intended to provide undergraduate engineering students with the background needed to understand the science of structure-property relationships, as well as address the engineering concerns of materials selection in design. A computer diskette is included.

CD-ROM contains: Dynamic phase diagram tool -- Over 30 animations of concepts from the text -- Photomicrographs from the text.

Materials science and engineering (MSE) contributes to our everyday lives by making possible technologies ranging from the automobiles we drive to the lasers our physicians use. Materials Science and Engineering for the 1990s charts the impact of MSE on the private and public sectors and identifies the research that must be conducted to help America remain competitive in the world arena. The authors discuss what current and future resources would be needed to conduct this research, as well as the role that industry, the federal government, and universities should play in this endeavor.

This book gives a broad introduction to the properties of materials used in engineering applications, and is intended to provide a course in engineering materials for students with no previous background in the subject.

Develop a thorough understanding of the relationships between structure, processing and the properties of materials with Askeland/Wright's THE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING OF MATERIALS, ENHANCED, SI, 7th Edition. This updated, comprehensive edition serves as a useful professional reference tool both now and throughout future coursework in manufacturing, materials, design or materials selection. This science-based approach to materials engineering highlights how the structure of materials at various length scales gives rise to materials properties. You examine how the connection between structure and properties is key to innovating with materials, both in the synthesis of new materials as well as in new applications with existing materials. You also learn how time, loading and environment all impact materials -- a key concept that is often overlooked when using charts and databases to select materials. Trust this enhanced edition for insights into success in materials engineering today.

Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction promotes student understanding of the three primary types of materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers) and composites, as well as the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties.
