D R H Jones, Professor in the Engineering Department, Cambridge University, UK
Description
Widely adopted around the world, this is a core materials science and mechanical engineering text. Engineering Materials 1 gives a broad
introduction to the properties of materials used in engineering applications. With each chapter corresponding to one lecture, it provides
a complete introductory course in engineering materials for students with no previous background in the subject. Ashby & Jones have an
established, successful track record in developing understanding of the properties of materials and how they perform in reality.
Audience
Mid and senior undergraduate level courses, taught masters courses in departments of mechanical engineering; materials sciences; manufacturing;
engineering design; materials design; product design; aeronautical engineering; engineering sciences. Particularly suitable as a one-semester
course text.
