Product Review
"this book fulfills its intention to bring together the diverse aspects of material properties, processing and geometry, to give the design engineer a systematic method of materials selection." Materials World
Amazon Customer Reviews:
"Ashby has an unsurpassed reputation in teaching engineers about materials. His approach leads the engineer from design requirements through to optimal material choices in a systematic, science-based manner. On the way, the engineer encounters the concept of the 'performance index' and wonderful charts that take away the pain of reviewing endless tables of uninspiring numbers. In the process you learn about materials in a whole new way. The book also contains a variety of case studies on Ashby's written style is both engaging and entertaining I love this book (have given many copies as gifts!) and recommend it as a 'must-have' for material science and mechanical engineering undergraduates and their teachers, as well a cornerstone backgrounder for materials professionals in industry." UK reader
"Invaluable!" September 21, 2000, Swiss reader
"Ashby's compilation of data and explanation of methodology is excellent and results in a must read for technical persons who will be involved with the selection of materials for design. The numerous material charts included are invaluable when trying to compare, and ultimately decide upon, different materials for a design. Also, the example cases presented compliment and help explain the different approaches to selecting the most suitable material for a given design. Overall the book is easy to read and a good addition to the office or home." USA reader
