Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The ultimate materials engineering resource for anyone developing skills and understanding of materials properties and selection for engineering applications. The book is a visually lead approach to understanding core materials properties and how these apply to selection and design. Linked with Granta Design's market-leading materials selection software which is used by organisations as diverse as Rolls-Royce, GE-Aviation, Honeywell, NASA and Los Alamos National Labs.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction: materials-history and character -- Family trees: organized materials and processes -- Strategic thinking: matching materials to design -- Stiffness and weight: density and elastic moduli -- Flex, sag and wobble: stiffness-limited design -- Beyond elasticity: plasticity, yielding adn ducility -- Bend and crush: strength-limited design -- Fracture and fracture toughness -- Shake, rattle and roll: cyclic loading, damage and failure -- Keeping it all together: fracture-limited design -- Rub, slither and seize: friction and wear -- Agitated atoms: materials and heat -- Running hot: using materials at high temperatures -- Conductors, insulators and dielectrics -- Magnetic materials -- Materials for optic devices -- Durability: oxidation, corrosion and degradation -- Heat, beat, stick and polish: manufacturing processes -- Follow the recipe: processing and properties -- Materials, processes and the environment.
