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)
