A vital application of materials science is the understanding of materials, including their properties and behavior, which is essential to engineering design. Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, written for all engineering, materials science, and design students, explains the methods for material selection in mechanical design to make sure that the best materials are chosen from the entire range of materials and section shapes available for a particular application. Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, which has been extensively revised for its fourth edition, is regarded as one of the best texts on materials selection and offers a distinctive and genuinely innovative resource. New features included in this version include: All material property charts are now fully colored. chapters on engineering materials, processes and process selection, and material and shape selection have undergone extensive revisions while maintaining the book's distinctive format and subject matter. chapters on materials and the environment and hybrid materials have been completely revised. Completely updated appendix on data and information for engineering materials Updated and enlarged end-of-chapter tasks along with more worked examples The properties of materials are used to introduce them; materials selection charts, which are also accessible online, list all of the key characteristics of each material, making it easy to quickly access data and apply selection strategies. When paired with charts, merit indices enable the optimization of the materials selection procedure. A review of the sources of material property data is provided, along with suggestions for how to use them. The impact of material processing on the design is examined. Along with new chapters on industrial engineering, materials design, and environmental issues, there is also a separate online Instructor's Manual, new worked examples, and exercise materials. To further enhance the text's practical application and to further illustrate procedures, new case studies have been developed.
