The book provides a concise but comprehensive analysis of the subject matter in a way that is easy to understand and enjoyable to read. It does this by evaluating, systematically and logically, the underlying concepts and the way they are employed, which makes it simpler for students to comprehend the subject matter. The first section of the book offers a condensed overview of some of the most basic ideas in chemistry, such as the structure of atoms, the chemical bonds that bind them together, chemical equilibrium, or kinetics.

This all-encompassing and introductory book provides the fundamental background information that is required to comprehend the science of framework relationships. Additionally, it will address the engineering issues of material choice in design, handling materials into beneficial materials, and also how materials degrade and fail while in service. Specific subjects covered include mechanical, electrical, magnetic, or optical characteristics; degradation; failure and dependability; thermodynamics; kinetics; processing; and physical and electronic structure. The book provides treatment of electrical, optical, or magnetic materials that is superior to that provided by rival texts.

The major purpose of these books is to provide readers with fundamental information about engineering materials. The course covers all topics, beginning with the kinetics, thermodynamics, and crystallographic facets of engineering components, the atomic structures as well as bonding throughout solids, elaborates also on the framework of crystalline solids, and the thermodynamics of solids comprises a discussion on the composition and structure of phase diagrams, as well as the strengthening of materials.
