Publication Date: 2005-01-01
Features: This book is an excerpt from the 4th edition of The Science and Engineering of Materials. The original book was once the most popular textbook used in the "Materials Science and Engineering" course offered in American engineering colleges. The content of the original book is divided into five parts, and this book selects the first three parts and makes some revisions and additions:
1. Atomic Structure, Arrangement, Defects, and Atomic Motion;
2. Mechanical Properties of Materials and Microstructure Control;
3. Major Engineering Materials.
This book is well-organized, rich in content, easy to understand, and highly suitable for introductory or general courses in materials science at engineering colleges. At the same time, as an excerpt, it is even more suitable for introductory courses in materials science, especially for undergraduate students in material science programs, such as the "Introduction to Metallic Materials" course.
The examples and numerous exercises in this book cover a wide range of topics, are focused and practical, and include open-ended practical content such as case design. The author, Dr. Donald Askeland, from the University of Missouri-Rolla, is renowned in the United States for his contributions to metallurgy, and he is a highly respected expert in this field. In this book, he not only provides unique insights and very engaging explanations of metallic materials but also gives detailed descriptions of ceramics, glasses, polymers, and composite materials.
The book introduces many achievements of modern technological advancements, such as high-temperature superconductors, next-generation digital chip technology, and high-density magnetic recording. This is highly beneficial for broadening students' horizons, familiarizing them with the latest developments in related fields, and mastering modern industrial progress.
The book includes a free CD-ROM that provides related teaching software, supplementary teaching materials, and website links.
