Third Edition
By
Michael Ashby, Royal Society Research Professor Emeritus at Cambridge University and Former Visiting Professor of Design at the Royal College of Art, London, UK
Description
Understanding materials, their properties and behavior is fundamental to engineering design, and a key application of materials science.
Written for all students of engineering, materials science and design, this book describes the procedures for material selection in mechanical
design in order to ensure that the most suitable materials for a given application are identified from the full range of materials and
section shapes available.
Fully revised and expanded for this third edition, Materials Selection in Mechanical Design is recognized
as one of the leading texts, and provides a unique and genuinely innovative resource.
Features new to this edition
– New chapters on topics including process selection, material and shape selection, design of hybrid materials, environmental factors
and industrial design. – Online tutor resources -- fully worked Instructor's Manual, full color materials selection charts, image bank
for lecture presentations. – Reader-friendly approach and attractive, easy to use two-color presentation. – The methods developed in
the book are implemented in Granta Design's widely used CES Educational software.
Materials are introduced through their properties;
materials selection charts (now available on line) capture the important features of all materials, allowing rapid retrieval of information
and application of selection techniques. Merit indices, combined with charts, allow optimization of the materials selection process.
Sources of material property data are reviewed and approaches to their use are given. Material processing and its influence on the design
are discussed. New chapters on environmental issues, industrial engineering and materials design are included, as are new worked examples,
exercise materials and a separate, online Instructor's Manual. New case studies have been developed to further illustrate procedures
and to add to the practical implementation of the text.
Audience
Undergraduate and graduate students majoring in engineering disciplines including materials science, mechanical, aerospace and automotive
engineering, engineering design and industrial design. The book is also suitable for and used by practicing engineers, researchers and
designers, and industry-oriented short courses.
