This new 5^th edition of Engineering Materials 1 is a guide that can help anyone understand the thermal, environmental and mechanical properties of engineering materials.

What does this book cover?

Engineering Materials 1: An Introduction to Properties, Applications and Design was designed to serve as a stand-alone textbook for a single semester introductory class, or in conjunction with Engineering Materials 2: An Introduction to Microstructures and Processing as part of a longer full-year course.

The 5^th edition of Engineering Materials 1 offers new content on:

• The thermal properties of materials
• Converting between SI and ‘English’ units, including worked example problems in both notations
• Solutions to complex exercises to aid in self-study
• 50% more exercises overall, as well as more case studies and improved photographs
• A full chapter of elastic deformation and tensor stress notation
