Containing papers presented at the Seventh International Conference on Materials Characterisation, this book presents the latest advances in a rapidly developing field that requires the application of a combination of numerical and experimental methods. The work has been contributed by researchers who use computational methods, those who perform experiments, and those who combine both. Materials characterisation is important to ensuring that new products meet the needs of industry and consumers. The accurate characterisation of the physical and chemical properties of the materials requires the application of both experimental techniques and computer simulation methods. The wide range of materials now available, from metals to polymers and semiconductors to composites, necessitates a variety of experimental techniques and numerical methods. The papers in the book examine various combinations of techniques. The papers cover such topics as: Mechanical Characterisation and Testing; Micro and Macro Materials Characterisation; Cementitious Materials; Advances in Composites; Semiconductor Materials Characterisation; Computational Models and Experiments; Corrosion Problems.

ISBN: 1119820545

Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering provides a comprehensive coverage of the three primary types of materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers) and composites. Adopting an integrated approach to the sequence of topics, the book focuses on the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties. This presentation permits the early introduction of non-metals and supports the engineer's role in choosing materials based upon their characteristics. Using clear, concise terminology that is familiar to students, the book presents material at an appropriate level for student comprehension. This International Adaptation has been thoroughly updated to use SI units. This edition enhances the coverage of failure mechanism by adding new sections on Griffith theory of brittle fracture, Goodman diagram, and fatigue crack propagation rate. It further strengthens the coverage by including new sections on peritectoid and monotectic reactions, spinodal decomposition, and various hardening processes such as surface, and vacuum and plasma hardening. In addition, all homework problems requiring computations have been refreshed.

"This text treats the important properties of the three primary types of materials--metals, ceramics, and polymers--as well as composites, and the relationships that exist between the structural elements of these materials and their properties. Emphasis is placed on mechanical behavior and failure including, techniques that are employed to improve the mechanical and failure characteristics in terms of alteration of structural elements. Furthermore, individual chapters discuss each of corrosion, electrical, thermal, magnetic, and optical properties. New and cutting-edge materials are also discussed. Even if an instructor does not have a strong materials background (i.e., is from mechanical, civil, chemical, or electrical engineering, or chemistry departments), he or she can easily teach from this text. The material is not at a level beyond which the students can comprehend--an instructor would not have to supplement in order to bring the students up to the level of the text. Also, the author has attempted to write in a concise, clear, and organized manner, using terminology that is familiar to the students. Extensive student and instructor resource supplements are also provided."--Publisher's description.
