Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications and Design

by David R.H. Jones, Michael F. Ashby

Widely adopted around the world, Engineering Materials 1 is a core materials science and engineering text for third- and fourth-year undergraduate students; it provides a broad introduction to the mechanical and environmental properties of materials used in a wide range of engineering applications. The text is deliberately concise, with each chapter designed to cover the content of one lecture. As in previous editions, chapters are arranged in groups dealing with particular classes of properties, each group covering property definitions, measurement, underlying principles, and materials selection techniques. Every group concludes with a chapter of case studies that demonstrate practical engineering problems involving materials. The 5th edition boasts expanded properties coverage, new case studies, more exercises and examples, and all-around improved pedagogy.

Engineering Materials 1, Fifth Edition is perfect as a stand-alone text for a one-semester course in engineering materials or a first text with its companion Engineering Materials 2: An Introduction to Microstructures and Processing, in a two-semester course or sequence.

Dommage que les corrigés ne soient pas plus explicites et ne donnent jamais la démarche à suivre pour résoudre l’exercice...
A pars ça, c’est plutôt un bon ouvrage

I learned a lot from this easily understandable book. Recommend for students entering the field of material science.

[Vesa Lehto]

I've read only few books about material science. This was absolutely the best from the bunch.

It's not that dense on information, but it gives you the big picture. Sometimes the even bigger picture than needed for just material selection. More of a "design with materials" book than anything else.
