Addressing the growing global concern for sustainable engineering, Materials and the Environment, 2e is the only book devoted exclusively to the environmental aspects of materials. It explains the ways in which we depend on and use materials and the consequences these have, and it introduces methods for thinking about and designing with materials within the context of minimizing environmental impact. Along with its noted in-depth coverage of material consumption, the material life-cycle, selection strategies, and legislative aspects, the second edition includes new case studies

Sur la 4ème de couverture : "Traduction d'un manuel mondialement connu et issu de l'Université de Cambridge, « Matériaux » expose l'ensemble des bases indispensables à la compréhension des propriétés des matériaux. En adoptant une approche unique basée sur la conception en ingénierie, il permet aux étudiants et aux praticiens de pouvoir choisir en toute connaissance de cause les matériaux répondant au mieux aux spécifications d'une application donnée. Richement illustré, entièrement imprimé en couleur et augmenté de nombreux exercices d'auto-évaluation en fin de chaque chapitre, il couvre tous les aspects mécaniques, thermiques, électriques, magnétiques, optiques et chimiques des matériaux. Il expose en outre les procédés de mise en oeuvre et d'élaboration des matériaux, ainsi que les principales notions de cristallographie à maîtriser. Enfin, il constituera le support idéal pour l'introduction auprès des étudiants du logiciel d'aide à la sélection des matériaux CES EduPack, développé à l'université de Cambridge. Le manuel ultime dans son domaine, enfin disponible en français."

In this new edition of their classic work on Cellular Solids, the authors 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. The text summarises current understanding of the structure and mechanical behaviour of cellular materials, and the ways in which they can be exploited in engineering design. 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.
