The Science and Engineering of Materials, Enhanced Edition
By Donald R. Askeland, Wendelin J. Wright
About your course materials
Ensure that your engineering students understand the relationships between structure, processing and properties of materials with Askeland/Wright's THE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING OF MATERIALS, ENHANCED, 7th Edition. This updated, comprehensive approach lets you select the topics best for your course, from a general overview to an emphasis on materials, mechanical behavior or physical properties. Complete, current coverage makes this edition a trusted reference for students throughout future coursework.
This science-based approach highlights how the structure of materials at various length scales gives rise to materials properties. Students examine how the connection between structure and properties is key to innovating – from synthesis of new materials to new applications of existing materials. Readers also learn how time, loading and environment impact materials -- a key concept often overlooked when using charts and databases to select materials. WebAssign lets you further customize new content to your course needs.
