Materials Science and Engineering An Introduction,9th Edition
University
Auburn University
Preface;
In this ninth edition we have retained the objectives and approaches for teaching
materials science and engineering that were presented in previous editions. The first,
and primary, objective is to present the basic fundamentals on a level appropriate for
university/college students who have completed their freshmen calculus, chemistry, and
physics courses.
The second objective is to present the subject matter in a logical order, from the
simple to the more complex. Each chapter builds on the content of previous ones.
The third objective, or philosophy, that we strive to maintain throughout the text is
that if a topic or concept is worth treating, then it is worth treating in sufficient detail and
to the extent that students have the opportunity to fully understand it without having to
consult other sources; in addition, in most cases, some practical relevance is provided.
The fourth objective is to include features in the book that will expedite the learning
process. These learning aids include the following:
• Numerous illustrations, now presented in full color, and photographs to help
visualize what is being presented
• Learning objectives, to focus student attention on what they should be getting from
each chapter
• “Why Study . . .” and “Materials of Importance” items as well as case studies that
provide relevance to topic discussions
• “Concept Check” questions that test whether a student understands the subject
matter on a conceptual level
• Key terms, and descriptions of key equations, highlighted in the margins for quick
reference
• End-of-chapter questions and problems designed to progressively develop
students’ understanding of concepts and facility with skills
• Answers to selected problems, so students can check their work
• A glossary, a global list of symbols, and references to facilitate understanding of the
subject matter
• End-of-chapter summary tables of important equations and symbols used in these
equations
• Processing/Structure/Properties/Performance correlations and summary concept
maps for four materials (steels, glass-ceramics, polymer fibers, and silicon
semiconductors), which integrate important concepts from chapter to chapter
• Materials of Importance sections that lend relevance to topical coverage by
discussing familiar and interesting materials and their applications
The fifth objective is to enhance the teaching and learning process by using the newer technologies
that are available to most instructors and today’s engineering students.

New/Revised Content
Several important changes have been made with this Ninth Edition. One of the most significant
is the incorporation of several new sections, as well as revisions/amplifications of other
sections. These include the following:
• Numerous new and revised example problems. In addition, all homework problems
requiring computations have been refreshed.
• Revised, expanded, and updated tables
• Two new case studies: “Liberty Ship Failures” (Chapter 1) and “Use of Composites
in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner” (Chapter 16)
• Bond hybridization in carbon (Chapter 2)
• Revision of discussions on crystallographic planes and directions to include the use
of equations for the determination of planar and directional indices (Chapter 3)
• Revised discussion on determination of grain size (Chapter 4)
• New section on the structure of carbon fibers (Chapter 13)
• Revised/expanded discussions on structures, properties, and applications of the
nanocarbons: fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene (Chapter 13)
• Revised/expanded discussion on structural composites: laminar composites and
sandwich panels (Chapter 16)
• New section on structure, properties, and applications of nanocomposite materials
(Chapter 16)
• Tutorial videos. In WileyPLUS, Tutorial Videos help students with their “muddiest
points” in conceptual understanding and problem-solving.
• Exponents and logarithms. In WileyPLUS, the exponential functions and natural
logarithms have been added to the Exponents and Logarithms section of the Math
Skills Review.
• Fundamentals of Engineering homework problems and questions for most
chapters. These appear at the end of Questions and Problems sections and provide
students the opportunity to practice answering and solving questions and problems
similar to those found on Fundamentals of Engineering examinations.
Online Learning Resources—Student Companion Site
at www.wiley.com/college/callister.
Also found on the book’s website is a Students’ Companion page on which is posted several
important instructional elements for the student that complement the text; these include the
following:
• Answers to Concept Check questions, questions which are found in the print book.
• Library of Case Studies. One way to demonstrate principles of design in an engineering
curriculum is via case studies: analyses of problem-solving strategies applied to
real-world examples of applications/devices/failures encountered by engineers. Five
case studies are provided as follows: (1) Materials Selection for a Torsionally Stressed
Cylindrical Shaft; (2) Automobile Valve Spring; (3) Failure of an Automobile Rear
Axle; (4) Artificial Total Hip Replacement; and (5) Chemical Protective Clothing.
• Mechanical Engineering (ME) Module. This module treats materials science/
engineering topics not covered in the printed text that are relevant to mechanical
engineering.
• Extended Learning Objectives. This is a more extensive list of learning objectives
than is provided at the beginning of each chapter. These direct the student to study
the subject material to a greater depth.
Preface • ix
• Student Lecture PowerPoint® Slides. These slides (in both Adobe Acrobat® PDF
and PowerPoint® formats) are virtually identical to the lecture slides provided to
an instructor for use in the classroom. The student set has been designed to allow
for note taking on printouts.
• Index of Learning Styles. Upon answering a 44-item questionnaire, a user’s
learning-style preference (i.e., the manner in which information is assimilated and
processed) is assessed.
Online Resources for Instructors—Instructors Companion Site
at www.wiley.com/college/callister.
The Instructor Companion Site is available for instructors who have adopted this text.
Please visit the website to register for access. Resources that are available include the
