Applied Materials Science: Applications of Engineering Materials in Structural

Materials are the foundation of technology. As such, most universities provide engineering students with the basic concepts of materials science, but few offer the applications-oriented background that students need to succeed in industry. This book fills that gap. From a cross-disciplinary perspective, the author examines the practical applications of engineering materials across a broad range of industries. The topics addressed include electronic packaging, smart materials, thermal management, and materials development. Designed for use as both a text and a reference, Applied Materials Science is both scientifically rich and technologically relevant.
