This comprehensive, student friendly text is intended for use in an introductory course in physical metallurgy and is designed for all engineering students at the junior or senior level. The approach is largely theoretical but all aspects of physical metallurgy and behavior of metals and alloys are covered. The treatment used in this textbook is in harmony with a more fundamental approach to engineering education. An extensive revision has been done to insure that the content remains the standard for metallurgy engineering courses worldwide.

Solutions Manual for Mechanics of Materials Second Edition

James M. Gere

The second edition of this comprehensive text continues to explore basic concepts and applications of signal system analysis. It is assumed students have completed a course in circuits and have a proficiency in the use of differential equations. Modern applications are included on such topics as optical system processing and photonics. The text contains abundant examples, illustrations, and problems. Detailed appendixes cover complex variable theory and matrix theory. The second edition features a combined section on optical and acousto-optical principles and applications in signal processing studies. New discussions on the Hartley transform and the discrete Hartley transform have been added where appropriate, and new examples from a variety of disciplines are included. A solutions manual is available to qualified instructors.

Principles of Geotechnical Engineering

BRAJA M. DAS

This book presents the three-way relationship between structure, properties and processing of materials, providing students with an understanding of the behaviour of materials and how this behaviour can be controlled. The breadth of topical coverage includes not only the principles of material science and engineering, but also those of real-life materials; their advantages, applications and limitations. Material selection and processing is emphasized throughout and the differences and similarities between different classes of materials are discussed. This edition introduces up-to-date topics such as rapid solidification processing, toughening mechanisms in ceramics and photonic materials. Additional other topics discussed include the Arrhenius relationship, the unary phase diagram and dual phase steels. This book should be of interest to students on introductory degree and diploma courses in civil, mechanical, industrial, chemical and electrical engineering.

The science and engineering of materials

ASKELAND, Donald R.

A FIRST COURSE IN THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD provides a simple, basic approach to the course material that can be understood by both undergraduate and graduate students without the usual prerequisites (i.e. structural analysis). The book is written primarily as a basic learning tool for the undergraduate student in civil and mechanical engineering whose main interest is in stress analysis and heat transfer. The text is geared toward those who want to apply the finite element method as a tool to solve practical physical problems.

Mathematics

This book is an SI version of Look and Sauer's Engineering Thermodynamics, published by PWS/Kent in 1986, and has been fully revised to eliminate all mention of units other than SI. The diagrams have all been relabelled, the exercises altered and graphs and tables originating from the US institutions replaced by those from the UK and Europe. The text offers extensive coverage of basic topics through to the advanced, and has particularly strong chapters on availability and irreversability, refrigeration and heat pumps. The authors give a straightforward development of concepts ranging from thermodynamic properties to forms of energy, including the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The text includes elaborate treatment of current applications of the principles of thermodynamics. Modern and innovative problems and examples are offered, and the material is presented in an order that allows lecturers to select chapters, once the basics have been covered. There are numerous worked examples, student problems and extensive illustrations. This book should be of interest to degree and diploma students taking courses on thermodynamics in all engineering disciplines.
