Book, Materials Science and Engineering an Introduction 10/21[LS]

Materials Science and Engineering – An Introduction addresses the three main types of materials (metals, ceramics and polymers) and compounds, based on fundamentals and concepts appropriate for university students. A classic indicated in several bibliographies, it presents concepts in a logical sequence, starting with the simplest themes and then gradually dealing with more complex subjects. The authors William D. Callister, Jr. and David G. Rethwisch were concerned to detail and deepen explanations to offer a global understanding, without the need to consult other sources. It is a work rich in photos and illustrations and has resources that reinforce its didactic aspect, such as “Learning Objectives”, and sections “Why study...” and “Important Materials”. The questions to verify concepts and answers to selected problems are also worth highlighting. In this tenth edition, Callister and Rethwisch carried out a total review of the content and included discussions on the material paradigm frameworks and material selection, specification of materials for a pressurized cylindrical tank, 3D printing and biomaterials. There is also a section on polycrystalline diamond in this new edition, as well as a revised discussion of the Hall effect and recycling issues in materials science and engineering. In addition, all problems at the end of the chapters that require calculations have been revised.Materials Science and Engineering – An Introduction is, therefore, the most recommended reading for anyone who wants to study the relationships between different materials and their properties. It is the perfect content, with the essentials to meet the needs of Materials Engineering teachers and students.?
