Product Description
ASM Handbook Volume 20: Materials Selection and Design
ASM Handbook, Volume 20 fills the need for a fundamental engineering reference work that bridges the gap between design and materials engineering. It is a comprehensive reference on the basic concepts, methodologies, and information sources dealing with materials selection and its integration with engineering design processes.
Contents include contributions from 100+ experts from industry and universities involved with design, materials selection, and manufacturing, lead by Volume Editor George E. Dieter, University of Maryland.
Volume Highlights
- Discusses conceptual and configuration design of products and assemblies
- Provides specific design/materials selection situations (such as designing for fatigue resistance, fracture toughness, corrosion and wear resistance, etc.)
- Contains manufacturing aspects of design including effects of processing/manufacturing on materials and their influence on the design and materials selection process
- Addresses metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites
- Provides many case histories and examples
