Physics of Materials

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Quere, Yves / Quere, Y. / Quere, Quere, PUBLISHER: CRC Press, Few areas of science are as interdisciplinary as ong>materialsong> science. Chemistry, physics, mechanical engineering, ong>andong> mathematics each play a part within it. The role of physics is to describe the objects, effects ong>andong> phenomena at different scales (micro-, meso-, ong>andong> macroscopic) as precisely as possible. Physics of ong>Materialsong> addresses this description at the elementary level. Based on an undergraduate level course taught at the Ecole Polytechnique, France, the main emphasis is on the conduction related phenomena (electronic properties) ong>andong> the plastic behavior (ionic properties) of ong>materialsong>, such as metals ong>andong> alloys, semiconductors, ong>andong> ceramics. It assumes a basic grounding in statistical physics, quantum mechanics ong>andong> elasticity but does not require prior knowledge of solid-state physics, to which it will serve as a useful introduction. The presentation of the course is followed by several examination problems, with solutions, which cover various specific applications of the general concepts ong>andong> which will enable readers to test their understong>andong>ing of these concepts.

Exploring Materials: Creative Design for Everyday Objects

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Alesina, Inna / Lupton, Ellen, PUBLISHER: Princeton Architectural Press, ong>Materialsong> are like words. The richer your design vocabulary, the more distinctive the design solutions you can express. Sketching ideas with a pencil or rendering them with computer software are useful experiences, but there is no substitute for confronting physical forms ong>andong> ong>materialsong> directly. Exploring ong>Materialsong> is an action-oriented, accessible guide to design thinking that addresses both the 'how' ong>andong> 'why' of product design. In place of the abstraction of pure forms or the whimsy of virtual objects, it encourages designers to make ong>andong> test real objects in a studio environment. Best-selling author Ellen Lupton (Thinking with Type) ong>andong> her colleague Inna Alesina examine ong>materialsong> from several points of view, including traditional uses, experimental uses, techniques ong>andong> directions for prototyping with everyday objects, ong>andong> environmental implications. Student exercises ong>andong> inspiring examples from the world of contemporary product design show readers how to use ong>materialsong> as tools for thinking ong>andong> making. The book opens with two extensive studies: one for a place for sitting ong>andong> one for a method for carrying. By considering what is needed instead of what specific product can be made, designers examine the methodology of designing. The core of the book is a visual glossary of thirty-two ong>materialsong> from corrugated cardboard to molded felt to plastic film. It highlights the ong>materialsong>' behaviors ong>andong> properties which suggest different types of structure, surface, ong>andong> connection ong>andong> it shows experimental uses of these ong>materialsong>, demonstrating how designers from around the world have exploited their characteristics in inventive ways. The book concludes with a section on making it real, moving beyond the prototype to create a product that can be manufactured ong>andong> marketed. Exploring ong>Materialsong> contains everything designers need not only to jump-start their design process, but also to follow a project through from idea to prototype to finished object.
