More Description Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering: A Design-Led Approach is ideal for a first course in materials for mechanical, civil, biomedical, aerospace and other engineering disciplines. The authors' systematic method includes first analyzing and selecting properties to match materials to design through the use of real-world case studies and then examining the science behind the material properties to better engage students whose jobs will be centered on design or applied industrial research. As with Ashby's other leading texts, the book emphasizes visual communication through material property charts and numerous schematics better illustrate the origins of properties, their manipulation and fundamental limits.
- Design-led approach motivates and engages students in the study of materials science and engineering through real-life case studies and illustrative applications
- Requires a minimum level of math necessary for a first course in Materials Science and Engineering
- Highly visual full color graphics facilitate understanding of materials concepts and properties
- Chapters on materials selection and design are integrated with chapters on materials fundamentals, enabling students to see how specific fundamentals can be important to the design process
- Several topics are expanded separately as Guided Learning Units: Crystallography, Materials Selection in Design, Process Selection in Design, and Phase Diagrams and Phase Transformations
- For instructors, a solutions manual, image bank and other ancillaries are available at https://educate.elsevier.com/book/details/9780081023990
