Provides an up-to-date introduction to the properties and applications of engineering materials for students with no previous knowledge of the subject.  A wide range of materials is covered.  Emphasis is placed on developing an understanding of the physical and mechanical properties of materials in the context of other subjects that the engineering student will encounter, particularly mechanics, structures and design.  The economic considerations involved in the selection of materials are discussed in detail (prices quoted are those of February 1980).  Detailed tables of materials data, in a uniform format, contain all the information necessary to enable the student to solve a wide range of preliminary design calculations.  Also contains numerous problems, useful case studies and comprehensive lists of further reading.  In SI units.

Cellular solids include engineering honeycombs and foams (which can now be made from polymers, metals, ceramics, and composites) as well as natural materials, such as wood, cork, and cancellous bone.  This new edition of a classic work details current understanding of the structure and mechanical behavior of cellular materials, and the ways in which they can be exploited in engineering design.  Gibson and Ashby have brought the book completely up to date, including new work on processing of metallic and ceramic foams and on the mechanical, electrical and acoustic properties of cellular solids.  Data for commercially available foams are presented on material property charts; two new case studies show how the charts are used for selection of foams in engineering design.  Over 150 references appearing in the literature since the publication of the first edition are cited. It will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in materials science and engineering.
