Callister's Materials Science And Engineering (With CD)

0.0

Building on the success of previous edition, this book continues to provide engineers with a strong understanding of the three primary types of materials and composites, as well as the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties. With improved and more interactive learning modules, this textbook provides a better visualization of the concepts. Apart from serving as a text book for the basic course in materials science and engineering in engineering colleges, the book covers topics that can be used to advantage even in specialized courses pertaining to engineering materials. The book can be consulted as a good reference source for important properties of a wide variety of engineering materials, which benefits a wide spectrum of future engineers and scientists. Key Features It synchronizes contents with the sequence of topics taught in materials science and engineering courses in most universities in South Asia, while retaining the subject material of the seventh edition. “Materials of Importance” pieces in most chapters provide relevance to the subject material. Updated discussions on metals, ceramics and polymers. Concept check questions test conceptual understanding. CD-ROM packaged with the book contains the last five chapters in the book, answers to concept check questions and solutions to selected problems. Virtual Materials Science and Engineering in CD-ROM to expedite learning process. Integrates numerous examples throughout the chapters that show how the material is applied in the real world. About The Author Professor Balasubramaniam obtained his Bachelor of Technology degree from the Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, Institute of Technology, Benaras Hindu University, Varanasi, in 1984, securing the University Gold Medal. He went on to complete his PhD from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA, in 1990. He served as an Adjunct Faculty at RPI, during which time he taught the materials science and engineering course in 1989-1990. Since 1990 he has been teaching, on his return to India, in the Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. He is the recipient of the Director’s Citation for Best Teacher, several times at IIT Kanpur. Professor Balasubramaniam has been active in government-sponsored and industrial-sponsored research activities related to corrosion, materials-hydrogen interactions and structure-property co-relations in advanced materials.Recently Prof Balasubramaniam was bestowed by an award titled Distinguished Educator of the Year by Indian Institute of Metals.
