Understanding materials, their properties and behavior is fundamental
to engineering design, and a key application of materials science.
Written for all students of engineering, materials science and design,
this book describes the procedures for material selection in
mechanical design in order to ensure that the most suitable materials
for a given application are identified from the full range of
materials and section shapes available.
Extensively revised for this fourth edition, Materials Selection in
Mechanical Design is recognized as one of the leading materials
selection texts, and provides a unique and genuinely innovative
resource.
Features new to this edition
* Material property charts now in full color throughout
* Significant revisions of chapters on engineering materials,
processes and process selection, and selection of material and shape
while retaining the book's hallmark structure and subject content
* Fully revised chapters on hybrid materials and materials and the
environment
* Appendix on data and information for engineering materials fully
updated
* Revised and expanded end-of-chapter exercises and additional worked
examples
Materials are introduced through their properties; materials selection
charts (also available on line) capture the important features of all
materials, allowing rapid retrieval of information and application of
selection techniques. Merit indices, combined with charts, allow
optimization of the materials selection process. Sources of material
property data are reviewed and approaches to their use are given.
Material processing and its influence on the design are discussed. New
chapters on environmental issues, industrial engineering and materials
design are included, as are new worked examples, exercise materials
and a separate, online Instructor's Manual. New case studies have been
developed to further illustrate procedures and to add to the practical
implementation of the text.
