Foundations of Materials Science and Engineering
Foundations of Materials Science and Engineering is a comprehensive textbook written by William F. Smith and Javad Hashemi. Smith was a professor of engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a pioneer in the field of materials science and engineering. Hashemi is also a professor of engineering, currently teaching at Texas Tech University, with research interests in mechanical behavior of materials, nanomechanics, and materials characterization.
The book serves as an introduction to the fundamental principles of materials science and engineering, covering topics ranging from crystal structures and imperfections to mechanical properties and processing of materials. With a clear and concise writing style, the authors provide a strong foundation for students to understand the relationships between materials structure, properties, and processing.
The first part of the book covers the structure of materials, including crystal structures, imperfections, and phase diagrams. The second part focuses on mechanical properties, including elasticity, plasticity, fracture, and fatigue. The final part covers materials processing, including casting, welding, and forming.
The book also includes numerous examples and exercises to reinforce the concepts covered in each chapter, as well as case studies that demonstrate the real-world applications of materials science and engineering. With its emphasis on the fundamental principles of the field, this book is an excellent resource for undergraduate students in materials science and engineering, as well as for professionals in related fields who are seeking to deepen their understanding of materials.
