Synopsis

* Is written for engineers - people who make things - 'products' are what materials are for and they come first in this book. * Reorganises materials science in a new and original way - properties are for service and for production as well as for understanding. * Is an Open University self-study text in lucid style and with a wealth of exercises (with answers). * Stresses the generality of materials behaviour over all classes of material while still teaching the distinctive natures of metals, polymers, ceramics and composites. * Provides a rich learning environment covering mechanical, electrical and chemical characteristics of materials. * Introduces the technology and science of materials at university level. * Appeals through its two colour presentation and generous illustration.

About this title

Synopsis

Part of a four volume series of courses presented by the Materials Department of the Open University, the text covers materials science in the technological context of making and using materials. It is aimed at those who are new to the subject, but competent in maths and physical science. The approach of the book is founded on the belief that the behaviour of materials should be studied in a comparative way, and that intelligent use of materials requires a sound appreciation of the strong links between product design, manufacturing processes and materials properties. It encourages the student to use the exercises, objectives and self-assessment questions in order to aid learning.
