Description: This book describes a procedure for materials selection in mechanical design, allowing the most suitable materials for a given application to be identified from the full range of materials and section shapes available.
New materials enable advances in engineering design. This book describes a procedure for materials selection in mechanical design, allowing the most suitable materials for a given application to be identified from the full range of materials and section shapes available. This second edition is updated fully throughout with respect to materials developments and properties. There are new sections on materials selection aids, and new case studies are introduced where appropriate.
