Case Studies in Material Selection

(Selection of the best material and the most appropriate m...)

Selection of the best material and the most appropriate manufacturing process route are two decisions that will have significant impact on the final product. They are commonly based on human-resident experience or on established local practice. As such, some potentially usable materials or processes may be overlooked, and the material or process chosen to make some new and unfamiliar component may be sub-standard. This book is a collection of over 50 case studies in systematic material and process selection, designed to give students and practitioners real-life examples of problems they will encounter throughout their engineering careers. The case studies illustrate the use of a novel selection methodology and data system to select candidate materials and processes for a wide range of applications and components: mechanical, thermal, electrical, and combinations of these. Each case study addresses the question: out of all the materials or processes available to the engineer, how can a short list of promising candidates be identified? Most of the case studies are generic: materials for beams, springs, flywheels, pivots, flexible couplings, pressure vessels and precision instruments are examples. The selection criteria they yield are basic to the proper selection of a material for these applications. * Over 50 case studies that illustrate the best-practice method of material selection. * Details a wide range of material applications: mechanical, thermal, electrical, and combinations of these. * Provides the reader with problem-solving techniques for situations that may be encountered with processes.

Engineering Materials 2, Fourth Edition: An Introduction to Microstructures and Processing (International Series on Materials Science and Technology)

( Engineering Materials 2, Fourth Edition, is one of the ...)

Engineering Materials 2, Fourth Edition, is one of the leading self-contained texts for more advanced students of materials science and mechanical engineering. It provides a concise introduction to the microstructures and processing of materials, and shows how these are related to the properties required in engineering design. Each chapter is designed to provide the content of one 50-minute lecture. This updated version includes new case studies, more worked examples; links to Google Earth, websites, and video clips; and a companion site with access to instructors' resources: solution manual, image bank of figures from the book, and a section of interactive materials science tutorials. Other changes include an increased emphasis on the relationship between structure, processing, and properties, and the integration of the popular tutorial on phase diagrams into the main text. The book is perfect as a stand-alone text for an advanced course in engineering materials or a second text with its companion Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications, and Design, Fourth Edition in a two-semester course or sequence. • Many new or revised applications-based case studies and examples • Treatment of phase diagrams integrated within the main text • Increased emphasis on the relationship between structure, processing and properties, in both conventional and innovative materials • Frequent worked examples – to consolidate, develop, and challenge • Many new photographs and links to Google Earth, websites, and video clips • Accompanying companion site with access to instructors’ resources, including a suite of interactive materials science tutorials, a solutions manual, and an image bank of figures from the book

Materials 2/e with Online Testing, Second Edition: engineering, science, processing and design (with Elsevier Online Testing)

(This is the ultimate materials engineering text and resou...)

This is the ultimate materials engineering text and resource for students developing skills and understanding of materials properties and selection for engineering applications. Written by world class authors, it takes a unique design led-approach which is broader in scope than other texts, thereby meeting the curriculum needs of a wide variety of courses in the materials and design field, from Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering to Engineering Materials, Materials Processing and Materials in Design. This new edition retains its design-led focus and strong emphasis on visual communication while expanding its treatment of crystallography and phase diagrams and transformations to fully meet the needs of instructors teaching a first-year course in materials. Additional teaching resources have been added, including an interactive online materials science tutorial and online testing and assessment program with algorithmic exercises that allow one question template to become hundreds of different questions. The book is fully linked with the leading materials software package as used in over 600 academic institutions worldwide as well as numerous government and commercial engineering departments. * Design-led approach motivates and engages students in the study of materials science and engineering through real-life case studies and illustrative applications * Highly visual full color graphics facilitate understanding of materials concepts and properties * Chapters on materials selection and design are integrated with chapters on materials fundamentals, enabling students to see how specific fundamentals can be important to the design process * For instructors, a solutions manual, lecture slides, online image bank and materials selection charts for use in class handouts or lecture presentations are available at http://textbooks.elsevier.com * Links with the Cambridge Engineering Selector (CES EduPack), the powerful materials selection software. See www.grantadesign.com for information NEW TO THIS EDITION: • "Guided Learning" sections on crystallography, phase diagrams and phase transformations enhance students' learning of these key foundation topics • Revised and expanded chapters on durability, and processing for materials properties • More than 50 new worked examples placed throughout the text • Included online testing and assessment component helps students assess their knowledge of the topics - Email [email protected] for details • Link to interactive online materials science tutorials updated with new self test questions

Cellular Solids: Structure and Properties (Cambridge Solid State Science Series)

(Cellular solids include engineering honeycombs and foams ...)

Cellular solids include engineering honeycombs and foams (which can now be made from polymers, metals, ceramics, and composites) as well as natural materials, such as wood, cork, and cancellous bone. This new edition of a classic work details current understanding of the structure and mechanical behavior of cellular materials, and the ways in which they can be exploited in engineering design. Gibson and Ashby have brought the book completely up to date, including new work on processing of metallic and ceramic foams and on the mechanical, electrical and acoustic properties of cellular solids. Data for commercially available foams are presented on material property charts; two new case studies show how the charts are used for selection of foams in engineering design. Over 150 references appearing in the literature since the publication of the first edition are cited. It will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in materials science and engineering.
