Engineering Materials 2 : An Introduction to Micro Structures, Processing and Design (International Series on Materials Science and Technology) By D R H Jones, Michael F. Ashby Free Download

The leading course text for engineering materials courses on microstructure and materials processing

Materials are grouped into four classes: Metals, Ceramics, Polymers and Composites, and each are examined in turn. The chapters are arranged in groups, with a group of chapters to describe each of the four classes of materials. Each group first introduces the major families of materials that go to make up each materials class. The main microstructural features of the class are then outlined and the reader is shown how to process or treat them to get the structures (properties) that are desired. Each group of chapters is illustrated by case studies designed to help the reader understand the basic material. This book has been written as a second level course for engineering students. It provides a concise introduction to the microstructures and processing of materials and shows how these are related to the properties required in engineering design. –This text refers to the Digital edition.

Engineering Materials 2 is one of the leading self-contained course texts for more advanced students of materials science and mechanical engineering, and is the companion to the renowned introductory text Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications & Design. This book provides a detailed understanding of the fundamental properties of engineering materials: how they are controlled by processing, then formed, joined and finished, and how all of these factors influence the selection and design of materials in real-world engineering applications. New material and features in the updated third edition include a new chapter on materials failures, expanded design coverage, and additional exercises and examples with more real design situations.

• Best-selling materials properties textbook with a world-renowned author team • New student-friendly format, with enhanced pedagogy including more case studies, worked examples and student questions

Dr. Jones is co-author of Engineering Materials 1 and 2 and lead author for the 3rd and 4th editions. He was the founder editor of Elsevier’s journal Engineering Failure Analysis, and founder chair of Elsevier’s International Conference on Engineering Failure Analysis series. His research interests are in materials engineering, and along with serving as President of Christ’s College at the University of Cambridge he now works internationally advising major companies and legal firms on failures of large steel structures.
