Título: Engineering Materials 2: An Introduction to Microstructures and Processing (International Series on Materials Science and Technology)
Autor: David R.H. Jones, Michael F. Ashby
Sinopse: Product Description Engineering Materials 2, Fifth Edition: An Introduction to Microstructures and Processing is a comprehensive introduction to microstructures and the processing of materials. It is comprised of four sections covering metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. The materials are presented in an easy-to-read style, but also provide details on how processing, microstructures and physicochemical characters are interrelated. The book emphasizes the relationship between structure, processing and properties of both conventional and innovative materials. It provides detailed discussions of the different aspects of transformations, including interface kinetics, nucleation and growth and constitutional undercooling. Review The leading course text for advanced engineering materials courses on microstructure and materials processing About the Author Dr. Jones is co-author of Engineering Materials 1 and 2 and lead author for the 3rd and 4th editions. He was the founder editor of Elsevier's journal Engineering Failure Analysis, and founder chair of Elsevier's International Conference on Engineering Failure Analysis series. His research interests are in materials engineering, and along with serving as President of Christ's College at the University of Cambridge he now works internationally advising major companies and legal firms on failures of large steel structures. Royal Society Research Professor Emeritus at Cambridge University and Former Visiting Professor of Design at the Royal College of Art, London, UK Mike Ashby is sole or lead author of several of Elsevier’s top selling engineering textbooks, including Materials and Design: The Art and Science of Material Selection in Product Design, Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, Materials and the Environment, and Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design. He is also coauthor of the books Engineering Materials 1&2, and Nanomaterials, Nanotechnologies and Design.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Butterworth-Heinemann apresentam uma leitura densa e técnica, voltada principalmente para engenheiros, gestores de riscos e profissionais das ciências aplicadas. O catálogo privilegia obras que explicam processos complexos com clareza, como mecanismos de fechaduras de alta segurança, fundamentos de geologia para engenharia e análise de materiais, sempre com detalhamento didático e ilustrações técnicas. Há também uma atenção recorrente a temas de gestão de riscos e segurança, como emergências, desastres naturais e segurança nuclear, que combinam estudos de caso aprofundados e atualizações baseadas em eventos recentes. O tom é predominantemente informativo e prático, com textos que equilibram teoria e aplicação, e que se destinam a leitores que buscam compreender conceitos e procedimentos técnicos com rigor.
