Following on the success of the last previous two symposiums, the aim of ISAEM-2003 is was to provide an interactive forum for discussion of the designing, processing and properties of advanced engineering materials of involving metals, ceramics and polymers.

Following on the success of the last previous two symposiums, the aim of ISAEM-2003 is was to provide an interactive forum for discussion of the designing, processing and properties of advanced engineering materials of involving metals, ceramics and polymers. This two volumes set covers the following topics: I. Design of Advanced Engineering Materials. II. Processing of Advanced Engineering Materials. III. Properties of Advanced Engineering Materials. IV. Development of Functional Materials. The few highlights include: High Performance Materials Development in the 21st Century: Trends and Directions, J.C. Williams. Processing and Alloy Development to Optimise the Properties and Cost-Effectiveness of Components Manufactured from TiAl-Based Alloys, X. Wu, D. Hu and M.H. Loretto. Orientation Dependence of Dynamic Recrystallization Behavior of Al Single Crystals, Y. Miura and K. Ihara. Aerosol Deposition Method for Fabrication of Nano Crystal Ceramic Layer, J. Akedo. Recent Progress in Molecular Orbital Approach to Alloy Design M. Morinaga, Y. Murata and H. Yukawa. Toughness Assessment of a Variety of Materials: Similarities and Discrepancies, T. Kobayashi.

Provides a thorough explanation of the basic properties of materials; of how these can be controlled by processing; of how materials are formed, joined and finished; and of the chain of reasoning that leads to a successful choice of material for a particular application. The materials covered are grouped into four classes: metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. Each class is studied in turn, identifying the families of materials in the class, the microstructural features, the processes or treatments used to obtain a particular structure and their design applications. The text is supplemented by practical case studies and example problems with answers, and a valuable programmed learning course on phase diagrams.

The unique design of this book provides many helpful features for a sound and proven approach to learning about modern materials science and technology. Interesting case studies, applications, and illustrations, with numerous sample problems and activities, have been provided to facilitate the learning process. The book's extensive index and handy tables qualifies it as a useful "ready reference", on the job or elsewhere. You will learn about engineering materials and many associated topics through an integrated approach centering around innovative trends in design and manufacturing that often focus on environmentally friendly processes and products. Special strategies and clear explanations clarify the relationships among the major facets of materials technology.

CD-ROM contains: Demo of MaterialTool, user-friendly, interactive software that catalogues over 1000 materials and manufacturing processes.

Taking a practical approach, this work illustrates how design, materials, and process selection must mesh together and be considered along with economic and environmental analysis, when developing a new product or changing an existing model. It also considers the trade-offs that must sometimes be made. This second edition adds and revises topics such as environmental, function, and aesthetic considerations in design; environmental impact assessment of materials and processes; life cycle and recycling economics; and materials substitution. The book begins with an intro that reviews stages of product development. This is followed by three sections covering— · Mechanical failures, environmental degradation, and materials that resist different types of failure · Elements of engineering design and the effect of material properties and manufacturing processes on the design of components · Economic and environmental aspects of materials and manufacturing processes, as well as quantitative and computer-assisted methods for screening, ranking alternatives, and deciding on the optimum material/process combination Examples and detailed case studies illustrating practical applications, as well as materials selection and substitution from a variety of industries, are included. Each chapter begins with clear objectives and ends with a summary, review questions, and bibliography. Appendices supply tables of composition and properties and a glossary of technical terms. SI units are used; with Imperial units given when possible. This student-friendly text demonstrates how to balance design, materials, process selection, and economic and environmental analysis to optimize manufacturing processes for a given component. The author maintains a book website which features PowerPoint presentations for each chapter, and access to a solutions manual for qualifying instructors. Professor Faraq’s book website

To maintain competitiveness in the emerging global economy, U.S. manufacturing must rise to new standards of product quality, responsiveness to customers, and process flexibility. This volume presents a concise and well-organized analysis of new research directions to achieve these goals. Five critical areas receive in-depth analysis of present practices, needed improvement, and research priorities: Advanced engineered materials that offer the prospect of better life-cycle performance and other gains. Equipment reliability and maintenance practices for better returns on capital investment. Rapid product realization techniques to speed delivery to the marketplace. Intelligent manufacturing control for improved reliability and greater precision. Building a workforce with the multidisciplinary skills needed for competitiveness. This sound and accessible analysis will be useful to manufacturing engineers and researchers, business executives, and economic and policy analysts.
