Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction, 4th Edition

This used hardback textbook has been read and well used, but is in acceptable condition. It has very minimal damage to the cover, including scuff marks, but no holes or tears. The binding has minimal wear. The majority of pages are undamaged with minimal creasing or tearing, minimal pencil underlining of text, but there is quite a bit of highlighting of text, and some writing in the margins. There are no missing pages. Does NOT come with the CD/DVD or any DLC. 

The latest edition of this bestselling textbook treats the important properties of three primary types of material--metals, ceramics, polymers--as well as composites. Describes the relationships that exist between the structural elements of these materials and their characteristics. Emphasizes mechanical behavior and failure along with techniques used to improve the mechanical and failure properties in terms of alteration of structural elements. Individual chapters discuss each of the corrosion, electrical, thermal, magnetic, and optical properties plus economic, environmental, and societal issues. Features a design component which includes design examples, case studies, and design type problems and questions.
