This book is developing the science as a continuous thread running through the subject, from atomic theory, through thermodynamics, reaction kinetics and crystal physics, to elasticity and plasticity but stopping at all suitable places to show how the characteristic features of metals, alloys and the processes of practical metallurgy, such as extraction, refining, casting, working, and heat-tre…
In this sixth edition i have retained the objectives and approaches for teaching materials science and engineering that were presented in previous editions. The first, and primary, objective is to present the basic fundamentals on a level appropriate for university/college students who have completed their freshman calculus, chemistry, and physics courses. In order to achieve this goal, i have …
This book is concerned with the mechanics of rigid and deformable solids in equilibrium.
