Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction promotes student understanding of the three primary types of materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers) and composites, as well as the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties.

Preface

In this tenth edition we have retained the objectives and approaches for teaching

materials science and engineering that were presented in previous editions. These objectives

are as follows:

• Present the basic fundamentals on a level appropriate for university/college

students.

• Present the subject matter in a logical order, from the simple to the more complex.

• If a topic or concept is worth treating, then it is worth treating in sufficient detail

and to the extent that students have the opportunity to fully understand it without

having to consult other sources.

• Inclusion of features in the book that expedite the learning process, to include the

following: photographs/illustrations; learning objectives; “Why Study . . .” and

“Materials of Importance” items; “Concept Check” questions; questions and

problems; Answers to Selected Problems; summary tables containing key equations

and equation symbols; and a glossary (for easy reference).

• Employment of new instructional technologies to enhance the teaching and

learning processes.

New/Revised Content

This new edition contains a number of new sections, as well as revisions/amplifications of

other sections. These include the following:

Cylindrical Tank” (Chapter 8)

• New discussions on 3D printing (additive manufacturing)—Chapter 11 (metals),

Chapter 13 (ceramics), and Chapter 15 (polymers)

• New discussions on biomaterials—Chapter 11 (metals), Chapter 13 (ceramics), and

Chapter 15 (polymers)

• New section on polycrystalline diamond (Chapter 13)

• Revised discussion on the Hall effect (Chapter 18)

• Revised/expanded discussion on recycling issues in materials science and

engineering (Chapter 22)

• All homework problems requiring computations have been refreshed
