Materials Selection and
Applications in Mechanical Engineering - $72.95
 |
Unlike any other text of its kind, Materials
Selection and Applications in Mechanical Engineering contains complete
and in-depth coverage on materials of use, their principles, processing and
handling details; along with illustrative examples and sample projects.
It clearly depicts the needed topics and gives
adequate coverage with ample examples so that ME students can appreciate the
relevance of materials to their discipline.
Featuring the basic principles of materials selection for application in various
engineering outcomes, the contents of this text follow those of the common
first-level introductory course in materials science and engineering.
Directed toward mechanical engineering, it
introduces the materials commonly used in this branch, along with an exhaustive
description of their properties that decide their functional characteristics and
selection for use, typical problems encountered during application due to
improper processing or handling of materials, non-destructive test procedures
used in maintenance to detect and correct problems, and much more.
What’s more, numerous examples and project-type
analyses to select proper materials for application are provided. With the use
of this unique text, teaching a relevant second-level course in materials to ME
majors has never been easier!
Features
- Covers all aspects of engineering materials
necessary for their successful utilization in mechanical components and
systems.
- Defines a procedure to evaluate the materials’
performance efficiency in engineering applications and illustrates it with a
number of examples.
- Includes sample project activities, along with
a number of assignments for self exercise.
- Keeps chapters short and targeted toward
specific topics for easy assimilation.
- Contains several unique chapters, including
microprocessing, MEMS, problems encountered during use of materials in
mechanical components, and NDT procedures used to detect common defects such
as cracks, porosity and gas pockets, internal residual stresses, etc.
- Features commonly used formulae in mechanical
system components in an appendix.
- Several tables containing material properties
are included throughout the book.
