About this title

Synopsis

An introductory textbook that provides a basic understanding of the theory, manufacturing, processing properties, applications, and testing of common industrial materials, including metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, adhesives, and fuels. It also presents information on the importance, advantages, and disadvantages of these materials. Where applicable, pertinent industrial applications are given. Each chapter concludes with questions and problems. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

From the Publisher

Clearly-written and with a practical, problem-solving approach, this new introduction to the characteristics and testing of materials effectively combines the background students need in principles and theory with plenty of applications, to give them a solid understanding of the materials used in today's machines, devices, structures, and consumer products. Straightforward, non- mathematical coverage is aimed at answering the "why<170 and "how" questions of materials science and materials testing as they relate to all types of materials--concrete, wood, metals, and polymers--and geared to helping students build a foundation from which they can learn to design and develop additional materials and conduct materials testing procedures on their own.
