Materials Engineering and Metallurgy

This lecture note covers all the essential issues that need to be understood by an engineer concerning the interplay between materials, structure, and properties. Issues such as metallurgy, crystal physics, and Neumann's symmetry principle are dealt with in detail. Equilibrium thermodynamics, neutron diffraction, and spectroscopy are also touched on, with all discussions on the major classes of materials and the emerging field of nanostructured materials. Focusing on practical applications, it also takes into discussion the most recent concepts, like Moore's Law and their implications to materials engineering. Dedicated to the students and professionals in engineering, this note establishes a scientific basis in choosing and performing the materials.

Materials Science for Engineers

This lecture note deals with the important areas that explain the interplay of materials, structure, and properties as tackled by the engineers. Metallurgy to crystal physics and Neumann's symmetry principle also have been dealt with. Equilibrium thermodynamics, neutron diffraction, and spectroscopy discussed alongside the major classes of materials and emerging nanostructured materials have also been dealt in this note. Since the material emphasizes practical applications, it is presented within the framework of advanced concepts like Moore's law and its implications for materials engineering. The note will prove useful to both engineering students and practicing engineers, and it discusses the scientific method as applied to questions of material selection and performance.
