About the Book

Providing first-hand knowledge of lightweight engineering materials from the perspectives of academic researchers and industrial developers, this handbook and reference helps readers to decide on which material is best suited for a specific application.
The first part introduces the selection of purpose-oriented materials, clearly differentiating between the most important lightweight design approaches with respect to such properties as stiffness, strength and toughness. The major part focuses on the shaping, strengthening and processing of metals, alloys, engineering polymers and composites, complemented by property profiles and simulation methods. Finally, chapters on sustainability and life cycle assessment round off the book.

About the Author :
Hans Peter Degischer is head of the Institute of Materials Science and Technology at the Technical University in Vienna, Austria. After his doctorate in technical physics he became lecturer at the University of Oriente, Venezuela. He worked at the Austrian Research Center Seibersdorf for more than twenty years and was visiting scientist at the Hahn-Meitner-Institut in Berlin, Germany, and at the CNRS Rhone-Alpes, France. He was head of the research department of the Austrian aluminium company AMAG for several years and founded the center of excellence for light metal in Ranshofen. Hans Peter Degischer received the Heyn commemorative medal in recognition of his achievements in the fields of metal matrix composites and cellular aluminium.

Cecilia Poletti is currently research assistant at the Technical University of Vienna in the Institute of Materials Science and Technology. She received her degree in chemical engineering from the National University of Comahue, Argentina, and did her PhD in materials science in Hans Peter Degischer's group in 2005.
