Seller Inventory # 001802300U
Introducing a new engineering product or changing an existing model involves making designs, reaching economic decisions, selecting materials, choosing manufacturing processes, and assessing its environmental impact. These activities are interdependent and should not be performed in isolation from each other. This is because the materials and processes used in making the product can have a large influence on its design, cost, and performance in service.
Since the publication of the second edition of this book, changes have occurred in the fields of materials and manufacturing. Industries now place more emphasis on manufacturing products and goods locally, rather than outsourcing. Nanostructured and smart materials appear more frequently in products, composites are used in designing essential parts of civilian airliners, and biodegradable materials are increasingly used instead of traditional plastics. More emphasis is now placed on how products affect the environment, and society is willing to accept more expensive but eco-friendly goods. In addition, there has been a change in the emphasis and the way the subjects of materials and manufacturing are taught within a variety of curricula and courses in higher education.
This third edition of the bestselling Materials and Process Selection for Engineering Design has been comprehensively revised and reorganized to reflect these changes. In addition, the presentation has been enhanced and the book includes more real-world case studies.

"The key elements of materials selection are handled exceptionally thoroughly. The quantitative treatment of the topics make this book a perfect adjunct, if not outright the textbook, for undergraduate courses. Staff engineers at manufacturing companies and at product design firms will find this book to be an essential resource."
––Stephen H. Carr, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, USA
"Many of the topics in the book, especially the relationship between design, materials, and manufacturing are increasingly discussed in the curricula of materials engineering and mechanical engineering. This book explains these topics very clearly and would be of interest to many faculty members in these departments. ...The front matter explains what the book is all about very clearly and presents a strong case for why faculty members should adopt it for their course..."
––Theodoulos Z. Kattamis, University of Connecticut, Storrs, USA
"... a valuable resource on materials and process selection. ... an ideal reference for final year thesis students undertaking integrated design projects. The book also reviews other approaches such as the Ashby maps and design for manufacturing concepts and as such provides a complete guide to the important topic of materials and process selection."
―Amal Esawi, Professor, Mechanical Engineering Department, The American University in Cairo, Egypt
"... presents a broad range of topics important for material and process selection. ... the approach uses is truly engineering and realization oriented and therefore particularly suited for mechanical, industrial, and design students."
―Rémy Glardon, EPFL
Praise for the Previous Edition
"Dr. Farag is a recipient of the Egyptian State Award for promotion of science and the First Order of Merit in arts and sciences―he is clearly a highly respected teacher. The strength of his book lies in its many worked examples and review questions set at the close of every chapter. The material data provided is also excellent."
―Peter C. Gasson, CEng, MIMechE, FRA, The Aeronautical Journal, October 2008
