Mechanical Metallurgy by George Dieter

AI Thread Summary
George Dieter's "Mechanical Metallurgy" is a comprehensive textbook essential for undergraduate and graduate engineering students, as well as practicing engineers. The third edition provides an in-depth exploration of materials' behavior under stress, addressing key topics such as stress and strain relationships, plastic deformation, dislocation theory, and various strengthening mechanisms. It also includes applications to materials testing, covering critical tests like tension, hardness, and fatigue, alongside discussions on metalworking processes such as forging, rolling, and extrusion. The text has been updated to include SI units and features end-of-chapter study questions, making it a valuable resource for both learning and reference in mechanical metallurgy.

This revised third edition of a bestselling metallurgy text examines the behaviour of materials under stress and their reaction to a variety of hostile environments. It covers the entire scope of mechanical metallurgy, from an understanding of the continuum description of stress and strain, through crystalline and defect mechanisms of flow and fracture, and on to a consideration of major mechanical property tests and the basic metalworking process. It has been updated throughout, SI units have been added, and end-of-chapter study questions are included.

Professor Dieter's Mechanical Metallurgy is a fabulous text for engineering students, both in undergraduate and graduate studies, but equally as important to practicing engineers. The 3rd Edition is quite invaluable covering the complete realm of mechanical metallurgy for both material scientists and mechanical engineers as well. This text should be a required teaching tool for engineering students, or at the very least, a highly valuable reference.
 
For the following four books, has anyone used them in a course or for self study? Compiler Construction Principles and Practice 1st Edition by Kenneth C Louden Programming Languages Principles and Practices 3rd Edition by Kenneth C Louden, and Kenneth A Lambert Programming Languages 2nd Edition by Allen B Tucker, Robert E Noonan Concepts of Programming Languages 9th Edition by Robert W Sebesta If yes to either, can you share your opinions about your personal experience using them.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
