商品描述
Why do engineers need to know about materials? Metals, polymers, ceramics, composites -- what are the key characteristics of each class of material and which is best suited for a given industrial application? How can service conditions change the performance of materials? This compact undergraduate textbook gives you, the engineer, insight into these questions and the information you need to effectively interact with materials experts from all walks of life and gain a foothold in your budding career as a materials-literate engineer.
Featuring familiar examples from the aviation and the automotive industries, this applications-led approach focuses on illustrating key concepts, giving real-world context to the material presented. In addition, the book acquaints you with important operational aspects of materials selection, such as costs, environmental impact, and sustainability. Optimised for mechanical and aerospace engineers, this book is also suitable for students in the adjacent fields of civil, industrial, and manufacturing engineering. Concise, practical, and easy to understand -- this textbook is the ideal accompaniment to any introductory engineering course.

作者簡介
Following an undergraduate physics degree, Dr. Katy Voisey gained a PhD from the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy, Cambridge University in 2002. She has spent the majority of her working life, from 2005 onwards, as an academic in the Faculty of Engineering, Nottingham University, teaching materials to a wide variety of non-materials specialists: mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, aerospace engineering, product design and manufacturing, bioengineering and additive manufacturing students, as well as advanced materials MSc students.
Dr Voisey's research in materials science and engineering is focussed in the areas of laser materials processing, coatings and corrosion. A recurring theme is how interactions with high power densities and/or the environment can change the microstructure and performance of materials. She has successfully supervised over 20 PhD students, has 70 publications (Web of Science), over 1400 citations (Scopus), an h-index of 23 and is a Member of the Institute of Physics as well as a Fellow of The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
在獲得物理學學士學位後，Katy Voisey 博士於 2002 年在劍橋大學材料科學與冶金系獲得博士學位。自 2005 年起，她大部分的職業生涯都在諾丁漢大學工程學院擔任學術職位，教授材料學給各種非材料專業的學生，包括機械工程、製造工程、航空工程、產品設計與製造、生物工程和增材製造的學生，以及高級材料碩士生。
Voisey 博士在材料科學與工程領域的研究專注於激光材料加工、塗層和腐蝕。她的研究主題之一是高功率密度和/或環境的相互作用如何改變材料的微觀結構和性能。她成功指導了超過 20 名博士生，擁有 70 篇出版物（Web of Science），超過 1,400 次引用（Scopus），h-index 為 23，並且是物理學會會員及材料、礦物和採礦學會的院士。
