Building on the extraordinary success of seven best-selling editions, Bill Callister’s new Eighth Edition of MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING continues to promote 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.
Supported by WileyPLUS, an integrated online learning environment containing the highly respected Virtual Materials Science and Engineering Lab (VMSE), a materials property database referenced to problems in the text, and new modules in tensile testing, diffusion, and solid solutions (all referenced to problems in the text)
