The Science and Design of Engineering Materials, 2nd Edition, offers modern coverage of materials by asking the reader to think in terms of properties of materials. This is called an integrated approach because it stresses fundamental concepts applicable to all materials first, then points out the unique characteristics of each material class. The author team has the collective expertise to exp…
