Structure and Properties of Engineering Materials
This classic materials science textbook provides a comprehensive examination of the structure and properties of engineering materials. Henkel and Pense explain the relationships between material composition, microstructure, and mechanical performance. The fifth edition updates the text with expanded sections on crystallography, phase diagrams, diffusion, dislocations, and the mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics, and polymers.
Emphasis is placed on practical engineering applications, enabling readers to connect theory with real-world material performance and selection. Designed for undergraduate engineering students, the book also serves as a reference for practicing engineers involved in materials selection and failure analysis.
