Fundamentals of Materials Science (eBook, PDF)

The Microstructure-Property Relationship Using Metals as Model Systems

Beschreibung

This book offers a strong introduction to fundamental concepts on the basis of materials science. It conveys the central issue of materials science, distinguishing it from merely solid state physics and solid state chemistry, namely to develop models that provide the relation between the microstructure and the properties. The book is meant to be used in the beginning of a materials science and engineering study as well as throughout an entire undergraduate and even graduate study as a solid background against which specialized texts can be studied. Topics dealt with are "crystallography", "lattice defects", "microstructural analysis", "phase equilibria and transformations" and "mechanical strength". After the basic chapters the coverage of topics occurs to an extent surpassing what can be offered in a freshman's course.

About the author Prof. Mittemeijer is one of the top scientists in materials science, whose perceptiveness and insight have led toimportant achievements. This book witnesses of his knowledge and panoramic overview and profound understanding of the field. He is a director of the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart.

Autor

Eric Jan Mittemeijer was born in 1950 in Haarlem, The Netherlands. He studied "chemical technology", with specialization physical chemistry, at the Delft University of Technology and acquired his "ingenieur (= Ir.)" degree (comparable to a M.Sc. degree) in 1972 and his Ph.D. degree in 1978. From 1985 till 1998 he was full Professor of Solid State Chemistry at the Delft University of Technology. Since 1998 he is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart in conjunction with a full Professorship in Materials Science at the University of Stuttgart. He is Dean of the Study Course Materials Science of the University of Stuttgart and Speaker of the International Max Planck Research School on Advanced Materials. He leads a research department in the field of Phase Transformations. He has (co-)authored more than 580 scientific papers in international scientific journals and has received a number of honours for his scientific work.

Rezensionen

"This is a quite comprehensive book with over 700 pages and excellent integration of figures, tables, and equations. ... They provide great insights into the relationships between structure and properties that are fundamental to all materials scientists. ... the book finds an excellent balance between theory and practical application. ... Overall, Fundamentals of Materials Science: The Microstructure-Property Relationship Using Metals as Model Systems (Second Edition) by Eric J. Mittemeijer is an invaluable contribution to materials science." (David P. Cann, Journal of Materials Science, Vol. 57, 2022)
