Description for Essentials of Modern Materials Science and Engineering
Paperback. While other materials science books focus heavily on metals, Newell's Material Science and Engineering offers a unique approach that emphasizes modern materials such as polymers, ceramics, and composites. The book explores the key concepts and fundamentals that are needed to make informed decisions in the field. Num Pages: 368 pages, Illustrations (some col.). BIC Classification: TGM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 252 x 206 x 13. Weight in Grams: 682.
This book begins with four fundamental tenants: The properties of a material are determined by its structure. Processing can alter that structure in specific and predictable ways;The behavior of materials is grounded in science and is understandable; The properties of all materials change over time with use and exposure to environmental conditions;When selecting a material, sufficient and appropriate testing must be performed to insure that the material will remain suitable throughout the reasonable life of the product. This text assumes that the students are at least sophomores, so that they are familiar with basic chemical bonding and the periodic table. ... Read more
