Key Features An integrated approach to Materials Science and Engineering is used throughout to show that while the details may change within the different classes of materials, the fundamental principles still apply. Content is in line with the latest advances within the field allowing students and faculty to make use of the ideas and issues that are of current interest. Real world examples are used throughout allowing students to relate the material to products and technologies that they have experience with. Each chapter contains a "Have you ever wondered?" set of questions designed to pique the interest of students as well as to set a framework for the material to be covered in that chapter. About the Book: Essentials of Materials Science and Engineering: 2nd Edition This text provides students with a solid understanding of the relationship between the structure, processing, and properties of materials. Authors Donald Askeland and Pradeep Fulay teach the fundamental concepts of atomic structure and materials behaviors and clearly link them to the "materials" issues that students will have to deal with when they enter the industry or graduate school (e.g. design of structures, selection of materials, or materials failures). While presenting fundamental concepts and linking them to practical applications, the authors emphasize the necessary basics without overwhelming the students with too much of the underlying chemistry or physics. The book covers fundamentals in an integrated approach that emphasizes applications of new technologies that engineered materials enable. New and interdisciplinary developments in materials field such as nanomaterials, smart materials, micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) systems, and biomaterials are also discussed. Content 1.
