Materials for Engineering

Materials for Engineering, 9781845691578 (1845691571), Woodhead Publishing, 2006

The criterion I have adopted for discussing a specific material in this book is its commercial availability, rather than its being confined to a research and development laboratory. In the ten years since the appearance of the first edition of the book, a number of such engineering materials have appeared on the market and a number of these will be discussed in the pages below. I have also taken the opportunity of including a few topics of engineering importance that were originally omitted. Typical examples are the phenomena of superplasticity and the Bauschinger Effect. The chapter on organic polymeric materials now includes a fuller introduction to the range of those commercially available, and their typical applications.

The suggested reading lists at the end of chapters have been updated where necessary, as has the Appendix devoted to a review of the sources of material property data (though the latter is essentially a moving target and so can never be fully comprehensive!).

I continue to appreciate with gratitude the support and encouragement of my colleagues notably that of Professor George Smith, FRS, for allowing me access to the facilities of the Department of Materials at the University of Oxford.
