Features: This book is one of the series textbooks jointly developed by 21 universities for the higher education reform of the Materials Science and Engineering discipline in the 21st century. The content is defined within the scope of the "Materials Science and Engineering" first-level discipline. It is a systematic teaching book that comprehensively optimizes the course content of various second-level disciplines that previously belonged to different departments before the reform, as well as some recent research results on material properties. The book is divided into 14 chapters. Chapters 1 to 7 introduce the mechanical properties of materials under loading conditions, including impact toughness, fracture toughness, fatigue performance, wear performance, and high-temperature mechanical properties. Chapters 8 to 12 cover the physical properties of materials, such as thermal properties, magnetic properties, electrical properties, optical properties, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties, etc. Chapters 13 and 14 discuss the corrosion and aging properties of materials. The book highlights the basic concepts, physical nature, influencing factors of material properties, and the principles of testing property indicators as well as their engineering applications. It also pays attention to the commonalities and individual characteristics of different materials. The book has a broad knowledge base, extensive information, and a strong foundation. In terms of presentation, it is clear, easy to understand, and provides in-depth yet accessible explanations. At the end of each chapter, there are review questions, exercises, and references to help reinforce learning and facilitate further study. This book can be used for teaching in public professional courses of the first-level discipline of Materials Science and Engineering or second-level disciplines, as well as for reference by graduate students, engineering technicians, and business management personnel.
