Synopsis

Engineering Materials 2 is a best-selling stand-alone text in its own right for more advanced students of materials science and mechanical engineering, and is the follow-up to its renowned companion text, Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications & Design . This book develops a detailed understanding of the fundamental properties of engineering materials, how they are controlled by processing, formed, joined and finished, and how all of these factors influence the selection and design of materials in real-world engineering applications.

• One of the best-selling materials properties texts; companion text to Ashby & Jones' 'Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to their Properties and Applications' book
• New student friendly format, with enhanced pedagogy including more case studies, worked examples, and student questions
• World-renowned author team

About this title

About the Authors

Dr. Jones is co-author of Engineering Materials 1 and 2 and lead author for the 3rd and 4th editions. He was the founder editor of Elsevier's journal Engineering Failure Analysis, and founder chair of Elsevier's International Conference on Engineering Failure Analysis series. His research interests are in materials engineering, and along with serving as President of Christ's College at the University of Cambridge he now works internationally advising major companies and legal firms on failures of large steel structures.

Mike Ashby is one of the world’s foremost authorities on materials selection. He is sole or lead author of several of Elsevier’s top selling engineering textbooks, including Materials and Design: The Art and Science of Material Selection in Product Design, Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, Materials and the Environment, Materials and Sustainable Development, and Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design. He is also co-author of the books Engineering Materials 1&2, and Nanomaterials, Nanotechnologies and Design.

From the Back Cover

Engineering Materials 2 is one of the leading self-contained course texts for more advanced students of materials science and mechanical engineering, and is the companion to the renowned introductory text Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications & Design. This book provides a detailed understanding of the fundamental properties of engineering materials: how they are controlled by processing, then formed, joined and finished, and how all of these factors influence the selection and design of materials in real-world engineering applications. New material and features in the updated third edition include a new chapter on materials failures, expanded design coverage, and additional exercises and examples with more real design situations.

• Best-selling materials properties textbook with a world-renowned author team• New student-friendly format, with enhanced pedagogy including more case studies, worked examples and student questions
