About the Book

Understanding materials, their properties and behavior is fundamental to engineering design, and a key application of materials science. Written for all students of engineering, materials science and design, this book describes the procedures for material selection in mechanical design in order to ensure that the most suitable materials for a given application are identified from the full range of materials and section shapes available. Fully revised and expanded for this third edition, Materials Selection in Mechanical Design is recognized as one of the leading texts, and provides a unique and genuinely innovative resource. Features new to this edition OCo New chapters on topics including process selection, material and shape selection, design of hybrid materials, environmental factors and industrial design. OCo Online tutor resources -- fully worked Instructor's Manual, full color materials selection charts, image bank for lecture presentations. OCo Reader-friendly approach and attractive, easy to use two-color presentation. OCo The methods developed in the book are implemented in Granta Design's widely used CES Educational software. Materials are introduced through their properties; materials selection charts (now available on line) capture the important features of all materials, allowing rapid retrieval of information and application of selection techniques. Merit indices, combined with charts, allow optimization of the materials selection process. Sources of material property data are reviewed and approaches to their use are given. Material processing and its influence on the design are discussed. New chapters on environmental issues, industrial engineering and materials design are included, as are new worked examples, exercise materials and a separate, online Instructor's Manual. New case studies have been developed to further illustrate procedures and to add to the practical implementation of the text. *The new edition of the leading materials selection text *Expanded and fully revised throughout, with new material on key emerging topics, an even more student-friendly approach, and attractive, easy to use two-color presentation *Improved tutor resources, plus supporting online materials and Instructor's Manual"

Review :
."..this book fulfills its intention to bring together the diverse aspects of material properties, processing and geometry, to give the design engineer a systematic method of materials selection." Materials World Amazon Customer Reviews: "Ashby has an unsurpassed reputation in teaching engineers about materials. His approach leads the engineer from design requirements through to optimal material choices in a systematic, science-based manner. On the way, the engineer encounters the concept of the 'performance index' and wonderful charts that take away the pain of reviewing endless tables of uninspiring numbers. In the process you learn about materials in a whole new way. The book also contains a variety of case studies on... Ashby's written style is both engaging and entertaining... I love this book (have given many copies as gifts!) and recommend it as a 'must-have' for material science and mechanical engineering undergraduates and their teachers, as well a cornerstone backgrounder for materials professionals in industry." UK reader "Invaluable!" September 21, 2000, Swiss reader "Ashby's compilation of data and explanation of methodology is excellent and results in a must read for technical persons who will be involved with the selection of materials for design. The numerous material charts included are invaluable when trying to compare, and ultimately decide upon, different materials for a design. Also, the example cases presented compliment and help explain the different approaches to selecting the most suitable material for a given design. Overall the book is easy to read and a good addition to the office or home." USA reader
