Building on the extraordinary success of eight best-selling editions, Callister’s new Ninth Edition of Materials Science and Engineering continues to promote student understanding of the three primary types of materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers) and composites, as well as the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties.
This edition is again supported by WileyPLUS, an integrated online learning environment, (when ordered as a package by an instructor). Also available is a redesigned version of Virtual Materials Science and Engineering (VMSE). This resource contains interactive simulations and animations that enhance the learning of key concepts in materials science and engineering (e.g., crystal structures, crystallographic planes/directions, dislocations) and, in addition, a comprehensive materials property database.
New to This Edition
- A new organization of the chapters continues the use of the traditional approach that Materials Science and Engineering has always used, with some coverage of the unified approach to the subject.
- This new edition has an increased emphasis on active learning and includes more coverage of nano-, bio-, smart, and other modern materials. It incorporates new, up-to-date, solved examples and practice problems that reflect current technologies, current materials, and real word scenarios. In addition, the Virtual Materials Science and Engineering Lab (VMSE) has been updated.
- New tutorial videos have been added on “muddiest points” in the most widely used chapters (1-11). These videos give students peer-to-peer explanations of the most commonly misunderstood topics.
- An expanded discussion of the construction of crystallographic directions in hexagonal unit cells—also of conversion from the three-index scheme to four-index.
- New chapter-opener photos of applications of materials science help to motivate student interest in studying materials science.
