Materials

Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design is an essential resource that bridges the gap between the fundamental principles of materials science and practical engineering applications. Authored by Michael F. Ashby, Hugh Shercliff, and David Cebon, this comprehensive volume offers a visually engaging approach to understanding material properties, selection, and design. Structured to integrate the science of materials with their real-world processing and design considerations, the book provides clear insights into how materials can be optimally chosen based on performance and characteristics. With detailed coverage spanning manufacturing, engineering, and the science behind material behavior, it has become a valuable guide for both students and industry professionals. Published in 2007 in a durable hardcover format and comprising 528 pages, Materials remains a pivotal tool for those involved in the engineering and design fields, delivering both depth and clarity in the realm of materials selection and application.
