Callister's materials science and engineering [Book] / William D. Callister, David G. Rethwisch adapted by R. Balasubramaniam.

Includes glossary and index

Building on the success of previous edition, this book continues to provide engineers with a strong understanding of the three primary types of materials and composites, as well as the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties. With improved and more interactive learning modules, this book provides a better visualization of the concepts. The book includes all the required material for learning materials science and engineering, as taught in indian colleges and universities. The fundamental aspects of each topic have been covered in sufficient detail. In addition, advanced topics and the most recent developments have been covered and these will aid the interested students to gain a better appreciation of the subject based on personal study. Apart from serving as a text book for the basic course in materials science and engineering in engineering colleges, the book covers topics that can be used to advantage even in specialized courses pertaining to engineering materials. The textbook will serve as a good reference book on engineering materials and their properties, even after the completion of the basic course on engineering materials. The book can be consulted as a good reference source for important properties of a wide variety of engineering materials, which will benefit a wide spectrum of future engineers and scientists. The materials science and engineering course syllabi at iits, nits, several leading engineering colleges and universities (jawaharlal nehru technical university, hyderabad, anna university, chennai, etc.) were carefully researched and the end result is the sequencing of topics in the adapted version.
