Materials Selection In Mechanical Design

By (author) Ashby Michael F.
Description:
Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, Sixth Edition, winner of a 2018 Textbook Excellence Award (Texty), describes the procedures for material selection in mechanical design to ensure that the most suitable materials for a given application are identified from the full range of materials and section shapes available. Recognized as the world’s leading materials selection textbook, users will find a unique and innovative resource for students, engineers, and product/industrial designers. Selected revisions to this new edition ensure the book will continue to meet the needs of all those whose studies or careers involve selecting the best material for the project at hand.
