Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction 9th Edition by Callister

Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction 9th Edition by William D. Callister and David G. Rethwisch promotes student understanding of the three primary types of materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers) and composites, as well as the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties.

This edition is again supported by WileyPLUS, an integrated online learning environment, (when ordered as a package by an instructor). Also available is a redesigned version of Virtual Materials Science and Engineering (VMSE). This resource contains interactive simulations and animations that enhance the learning of key concepts in materials science and engineering (e.g., crystal structures, crystallographic planes/directions, dislocations) and, in addition, a comprehensive materials property database.

Modern coverage includes advanced ceramic and polymeric materials, composites, high-energy hard magnetic materials, and optical fibers. Resources to facilitate the materials selection process. Appendix B contains 10 properties for a set of approximately 100 materials and can be used in materials selection problems.

An additional resource, Appendix C, contains the costs for all materials listed in Appendix B. Within VMSE in WileyPLUS, the Engineering Materials Properties database enables user filtering by combinations of properties to facilitate materials selection. Mechanical property coverage: The Ninth Edition maintains its extensive introductory level coverage of mechanical properties and failure—the most important materials consideration for many engineers.

Key terms and brief explanations of key equations appear in the margins for quick identification of the most important topics in the chapter.The most significant change in the present edition is the addition of a new chapter, Case Studies in Materials Selection, which includes five different case studies (a cantilever beam, an automobile valve spring, the artificial hip, the thermal protection system for the Space Shuttle, and packaging for integrated circuits) relative to the materials employed and the rationale behind their use.
