(Engineering Materials: An Introduction to Microstructures...)
Engineering Materials: An Introduction to Microstructures and Processing is a comprehensive introduction to microstructures and processing of materials for engineering students and other related courses. It is composed of chapters that are arranged into four sections: metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites, which are the distinct generic classes of materials. The materials are presented in an easy-to-read style, while establishing the main concepts and providing details on how processing, microstructures, and physicochemical characters are interrelated. The book emphasizes the relationship between structure, processing and properties, of both conventional and innovative materials. It provides detailed discussions of the different aspects of transformations, including interface kinetics, nucleation and growth, and constitutional undercooling. The book also presents new case studies and examples to illustrate, develop and consolidate the different topics. The text features new photographs and 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. The text aims to provide detailed discussions about engineering materials to senior-level and postgraduate students of mechanical engineering, manufacturing, materials science, engineering design, products design, aeronautical engineering, and other engineering sciences. • 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

(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.

(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.

(Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design, S...)
Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design, Second Edition, was developed to guide material selection and understanding for a wide spectrum of engineering courses. The approach is systematic, leading from design requirements to a prescription for optimized material choice. This book presents the properties of materials, their origins, and the way they enter engineering design. The book begins by introducing some of the design-limiting properties: physical properties, mechanical properties, and functional properties. It then turns to the materials themselves, covering the families, the classes, and the members. It identifies six broad families of materials for design: metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, elastomers, and hybrids that combine the properties of two or more of the others. The book presents a design-led strategy for selecting materials and processes. It explains material properties such as yield and plasticity, and presents elastic solutions for common modes of loading. The remaining chapters cover topics such as the causes and prevention of material failure; cyclic loading; fail-safe design; and the processing of materials. * 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.

First Edition Named a Doody’s Core Title! Praise for the First Edition: "I have taught a philosophy of science course intermittently for about 20 years. Philosophy of Science for Nursing Practice is not only the most succinct, insightful, well-organized presentation of information I've yet seen, but drives thinking to where it ought to be." ―Laura Cox Dzurec , PhD, PMHCNS-BC Dean and Professor, Widener University School of Nursing "This appears to be the first book that focuses on the philosophy of science and its application to practice doctorates. The authors assume readers may not have a formal background in the philosophy of science, and write in a conversational tone with a minimum of difficult terminology. They discuss the current state of DNP education in a way that can foster discourse and debate ." ―Score: 97. 5 Stars, Doody’s Medical Reviews Written for DNP and PhD nursing programs, this text, based on a unique team-taught philosophy of science nursing courses, distills challenging content and delivers it in clear, highly accessible language for professors untrained in philosophy and their students. Authored by a nurse researcher/philosopher team who developed and taught this course for more than 7 years, the book provides a unique, integrated viewpoint that avoids esoteric and overly theoretical discussions and facilitates a clear connection between the philosophy of science and nursing science and practice. This second edition offers enhanced clarity and encompasses updates in philosophy of science interpretation, nursing practice and science, and a still-emerging practice epistemology. It is distinguished by its increased emphasis on DNP investigation that relies on a fundamental relationship with evidence-based practice, as well as the informational needs of the PhD student and the type of research the PhD graduate is expected to produce. The bulk of the text focuses on basic principles and concepts of the philosophy of science in regard to the education of both DNP and PhD nursing students. The book discusses the concept of nursing as a “practice discipline” within historical and sociological contexts, and addresses the importance of philosophy of science knowledge within a practice discipline. It examines the controversial question of how much philosophy of science a doctoral student actually needs. The text concludes with a brief introduction to nursing science knowledge content that is an essential “bridge” to the philosophy of science content and serves as a “next step” toward building a nursing epistemology. New to the Second Edition: • Revised to enhance clarity of information • Reflects contemporary trends in doctoral nursing education • Updated Questions for Reflection offer scholarly discourse • New appendix offers a sample semester-based syllabus based on the second edition Key Features: • Provides concise, accessible information that makes clear connections to practical applications • Written jointly by a philosopher and a nurse scholar who co-teach the course • Facilitates student ability to see the real connection between philosophy and practice • Increased focused content on how philosophy of science content is essential to understand evidence-based and practice-based evidence
