EVERY MATERIAL HAS A STRUCTURE. EVERY STRUCTURE DETERMINES PERFORMANCE. UNDERSTANDING THE CONNECTION IS THE FOUNDATION OF ENGINEERING.
Why does one metal withstand enormous stress while another fractures? What makes certain ceramics resistant to extreme temperatures? How do engineers select materials that balance strength, durability, performance, and cost?
The answers begin with materials science.
HANDBOOK OF MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING brings together the principles, technical methods, and practical applications that explain how engineering materials are structured, processed, tested, selected, and used.
This technical reference connects scientific concepts with decisions behind manufacturing, product development, infrastructure, and advanced technologies. Edward M. Ruby explores material performance from atomic bonding and crystal structures to phase transformations, corrosion, and advanced materials.
INSIDE THIS COMPREHENSIVE HANDBOOK, YOU WILL EXPLORE:
-
Atomic Structure and Crystallography: Understand atomic bonding, crystal systems, lattice structures, defects, and the microscopic foundations of material properties.
-
Mechanical Properties and Material Behavior: Examine stress, strain, elasticity, plasticity, hardness, toughness, fatigue, creep, and fracture mechanisms.
-
Phase Diagrams and Heat Treatment: Explore phase equilibria, diffusion, solidification, microstructural transformations, and techniques for modifying material properties.
-
Metals and Engineering Alloys: Study steels, cast irons, aluminum, copper, titanium, and other important alloys and their applications.
-
Ceramics, Polymers, and Composites: Discover characteristics, processing methods, advantages, and limitations of major material families.
-
Advanced and Functional Materials: Investigate semiconductors, nanomaterials, biomaterials, and specialized materials used in emerging technologies.
-
Manufacturing and Processing: Understand how casting, forming, joining, machining, and other methods influence material structure and performance.
-
Materials Testing and Characterization: Explore approaches to evaluating material properties, investigating failures, and interpreting material behavior.
-
Corrosion, Degradation, and Service Performance: Learn how materials deteriorate under operating conditions and examine principles of protection and durability.
-
Materials Selection and Engineering Applications: Connect properties, processing considerations, and performance requirements to practical engineering decisions.
BUILT FOR SERIOUS STUDY AND REAL-WORLD ENGINEERING

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
