Introduction to the Principles of Materials Evaluation

Rather than presenting a collection of empirical techniques, this insightful guide explores the physical bases of materials evaluation. Working systematically through the various types of energy, the author discusses mechanical, acoustic, thermal, electrical, magnetic, and radiative energy and the techniques derived from each. He explains what the interaction between energy and material reveals about the material's condition, presents statistical techniques for analyzing the results, and offers guidance on making decisions.Jiles, David C. is the author of 'Introduction to the Principles of Materials Evaluation ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780849373923 and ISBN 0849373921.
