FUNDAMENTALS OF MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING - AN INTEGRATED APPROACH

Now in its third edition, Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering continues to take an integrated approach to the topic organization. One specific structure, characteristic, or property type at a time is discussed for all three basic material types--metals, ceramics, and polymers. This order of presentation allows for early introduction of non-metals and supports the engineer's role of choosing a material based on its characteristics.
