Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications, and Design

By David R.H. Jones, Michael F. Ashby, D R H Jones

Book Overview

Widely adopted around the world, Engineering Materials 1 is a core materials science and engineering text for third- and fourth-year undergraduate students; it provides a broad introduction to the mechanical and environmental properties of materials used in a wide range of engineering applications. The text is deliberately concise, with each chapter designed to cover the content of one lecture. As in previous editions, chapters are arranged in groups dealing with particular classes of properties, each group covering property definitions, measurement, underlying principles, and materials selection techniques. Every group concludes with a chapter of case studies that demonstrate practical engineering problems involving materials.

Engineering Materials 1, Fourth Edition is perfect as a stand-alone text for a one-semester course in engineering materials or a first text with its companion Engineering Materials 2: An Introduction to Microstructures and Processing, in a two-semester course or sequence.

Awesome

I don't know why but this book really enabled my transition into an appreciation for 'engineering science' and then gave way to graduate study. Realizing that there is a certain logical behavior to materials behavior, which may be understood on very intuitive physical terms. So for that reason I recommend this to other students. I may be biased because things started to make sense to me after this book, and I don't know how much of that to attribute to the books writing, but I attribute a lot.
