Publisher's Synopsis
The third edition of this popular text continues to provide a balanced treatment of the full spectrum of engineering materials. Designed for a first course in engineering materials, the text is clearly presented and logically organized. The four categories of metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites are covered. New materials are given extensive coverage, including lightweight metal alloys, high-tech ceramics for power generation, engineering polymers for metal substitution, advanced composites, semi-conductors for increasingly sophisticated electronic devices, and non-metallic superconducting materials.
