- Book Synopsis
- Askeland/Wright/Wheatley's THE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING OF MATERIALS, 8th Edition, helps you understand the relationship between structure, processing and properties of materials, emphasizing a science-based approach to materials engineering and how the structure of materials at various length scales gives rise to materials properties. The connection between structure and properties is key to innovating with materials in the synthesis of new materials and enabling new applications with existing materials. The text highlights how materials change with time due to loading and environment -- an overlooked concept when using charts and databases. The text is a useful reference for courses in manufacturing, materials, design or materials selection. New chapters on biomaterials and materials selection for sustainable design provide content that you will encounter throughout your careers.
- About The Author
- Dr. Donald R. Askeland joined the University of Missouri-Rolla (now the Missouri University of Science and Technology) in 1970 after obtaining his Ph.D. in metallurgical engineering from the University of Michigan. His primary interest is teaching, which has resulted in a variety of campus, university and industry awards as well as the development of this well-respected text. Dr. Askeland is also active in research involving metals casting and metals joining. His focus is primarily in the production, treatment and joining of cast irons, gating and fluidity of aluminum alloys and optimization of casting processes. Additional work has concentrated on lost foam casting, permanent mold casting and investment casting. Much of his work is interdisciplinary, providing data for creating computer models and validation of such models.
