Book, Materials Science and Engineering an Introduction 10/21[LS]

Materials Science and Engineering – An Introduction covers the three main types of materials (metals, ceramics and polymers) and compounds, based on foundations and concepts appropriate for university students. A classic indicated in several bibliographies, it presents concepts based on a logical sequence, starting with the simplest topics and then gradually dealing with more complex subjects. The authors William D. Callister, Jr. and David G. Rethwisch took care to detail and deepen the explanations to offer a global understanding, without the need to consult other sources.. It is a work rich in photos and illustrations and has resources that reinforce its didactic aspect, such as “Learning Objectives”, and sections “Why study...” and “Important Materials”. Also noteworthy are the concept-checking questions and answers to selected problems. In this tenth edition, Callister and Rethwisch have completely revised the content and included discussions on materials paradigms and materials selection, materials specification for a pressurized cylindrical tank, 3D printing, and biomaterials.. There is also a section on polycrystalline diamond in this new edition, as well as a revised discussion of the Hall effect and recycling issues in materials science and engineering.. In addition, all problems at the end of chapters that require calculations have been revised. Materials Science and Engineering – An Introduction is therefore the most suitable reading for those who wish to study the relationships between different materials and their properties.. It is the perfect content, with the essentials to meet the needs of Materials Engineering teachers and students.
