Case Studies in Material Selection

by Michael F. Ashby, David Cebon

A collection of 40 or so case studies in materials selection. They illustrate the use of a methodology used to select candidate materials for a wide range of applications - mechanical, thermal, electrical, and combinations of these. Each case study addresses the question - out of all the materials available to the engineer, how can a short list of promising candidates be identified?
