Engineering Material Science Books for Mechanical Engineering

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for a suitable book on material science that can be applied to mechanical engineering. The book "Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction" by Callister is considered, with the user expressing familiarity with its 3rd edition but questioning its relevance compared to the latest 10th edition. Another book mentioned is "Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design" by Ashby, prompting a comparison between the two texts. The focus is on finding a resource that effectively bridges material science and mechanical engineering principles.

Hello,

I'm looking for a book that explains the subject of material science so that I can apply that knowledge to mechanical engineering. I was wondering if Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction by Callister might be a good choice. Could that book help me in mechanical engineering? Or should I consider another book such as Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design by Ashby?

Thank you!

I used and liked the 3rd edition of Callister, but since it is on the 10th, I am no longer sure if that judgment still holds today.
 

Thread 'Blennow to follow up Altland?'

TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
