This classic materials science textbook provides a comprehensive examination of the structure and properties of engineering materials. Henkel and Pense explain the relationships between material composition, microstructure, and mechanical performance. The fifth edition updates the text with expanded sections on crystallography, phase diagrams, diffusion, dislocations, and the mechanical behavio…
This volume offers a comprehensive treatment of designing plastic products in an industrial context. It examines the unique challenges of working with plastics as a material — their physical, thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties — and guides designers through the entire product development process. Key features include: Standard terminology for plastics and related materials. …
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and application of knowledge-based and expert systems in engineering design and analysis. The authors, Clive L. Dym and Raymond E. Levitt, explore the integration of artificial intelligence techniques with traditional engineering processes, emphasizing the development, validation, and implementation of expert systems for problem-solv…
