Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

Revised and updated to reflect the most recent developments in the field, this book presents the fundamentals of materials science and engineering. The new edition has a new chapter on failure which treats fracture modes, principles of fracture mechanics, impact fracture testing, fatigue and creep; a more detailed discussion of electronegativity and a more quantitative treatment of interatomic bonding; the addition of X-ray diffraction and linear and planar atomic densities; a more extensive treatment of interfacial defects; expanded coverage of nonlinear elastic behaviour, inelasticity, resilience and a more complete discussion of hardness testing; added sections on the phase diagram which cover peritectic regions, congruent phase transformations and the Gibbs phase rule; detailed treatment of corrosion rates, and the roles of activation and concentration polarizations in the prediction of the same; and an updated examination of composite materials. In addition, there are more than 400 new homework problems.
