"Provides a broad introduction to the mechanical, environmental, and thermal properties of materials used in a wide range of engineering applications. The style is deliberately concise, with each chapter designed to cover the content of one lecture. As in previous editions, chapters are arranged in groups dealing with particular classes of properties, with each group covering property definitions, measurement, underlying principles, and materials design. Each group concludes with case studies that demonstrate practical engineering problems involving the properties covered. This fifth edition has expanded properties coverage, many new case studies and worked examples, and many more exercises-- including model solutions to more complex exercises, and outline solutions to many others." --From back cover.
