This classic text has provided a standard introduction to materials science for engineering and science students for nearly 30 years. The book gives a basic grounding in the fundamental physics required for an understanding of the ways in which materials behave. Full coverage is given of the mechanical and electromagnetic properties of a wide range of engineering materials, from ceramics and polymers to semiconductors, piezoelectics and glasses for optical fibres.
