- Focuses
on applied rather than fundamental materials science
-
Covers numerous types of materials and areas of application
-
Includes up-to-date references in each chapter
-
Requires only a nominal background in fundamental material science
Materials
are the foundation of technology. As such, most universities provide
engineering undergraduates with the fundamental concepts of materials
science, including crystal structures, imperfections, phase diagrams,
materials processing, and materials properties. Few, however,
offer the practical, applications-oriented background that their
students need to succeed in industry.
Applied
Materials Science: Applications of Engineering Materials in Structural,
Electronics, Thermal, and Other Industries fills that gap. From
a cross-disciplinary perspective that reflects both the multifunctionality
of many materials and the wide scope industrial needs, the author
examines the practical applications of metal, ceramic, polymer,
cement, carbon, and composite materials across a broad range of
industries. The topics addressed include electronic packaging,
smart materials, thermal management, nondestructive evaluation,
and materials development. The text is clear, coherent, and tutorial
in style, includes numerous up-to-date references, and provides
background material in a series of appendices.
Unique
in its breadth of coverage of both materials and their applications,
Applied Materials Science is both scientifically rich and technologically
relevant. If you work or teach those that aspire to work in an
engineering capacity, you will find no text or reference that
better prepares its readers for real-world applications of engineering
materials.
