Synopsis:

This new edition of a well-known introductory materials text reflects recent developments in the field. It requires only a general chemistry and a familiarity with introductory college mathematics. Its aim is to give the prospective engineer, regardless of his future field of specialisation a basic understanding of the structure of material and their behaviour under varying conditions. The work emphasises the principles that govern properties, rather than the properties themselves.

From the Back Cover:

This book has been rewritten to match more closely the emphasis on the structure/properties/performance interplay that is developing in all aspects of technical materials -- both in universities and in industry. The book's new organization emphasizes the generic nature of engineering materials in phenomenon and function and acknowledges traditional classes of materials in the process. Coverage of frontier areas have been added including: toughened ceramics, new polymers, high-temperature superconductors, superhard magnets, and other fiber-optic glasses.
