Structural Materials (Materials in Action S.) - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

This title presents structural materials in a unique, authoritative and up-to-date manner. It ranges more widely than conventional textbooks and covers wood, paper, fibres and textiles, cement and concrete in addition to metals, ceramics, polymers and composites.

The book features short case studies plus many examples of actual products and contains numerous exercises and objective-linked, self assessment questions with fully worked answers. It is designed as a self-study text. The lucid and generously illustrated presentation reflects the well-proven Open University style. It is aimed primarily at undergraduates but is a readable general reference for all engineers.
