{"product_id":"materials-enabled-designs-michael-pfeifer-9780750682879","title":"Materials Enabled Designs: The Materials Engineering Perspective to Product Design and Manufacturing","description":"There are books aplenty on materials selection criteria for engineering design. Most cover the physical and mechanical properties of specific materials, but few offer much in the way of total product design criteria. This innovative new text\/reference will give the \"Big picture\" view of how materials should be selected--not only for a desired function but also for their ultimate performance, durability, maintenance, replacement costs, and so on. Even such factors as how a material behaves when packaged, shipped, and stored will be taken into consideration. For without that knowledge, a design engineer is often in the dark as to how a particular material used in particular product or process is going to behave over time, how costly it will be, and, ultimately, how successful it will be at doing what is supposed to do. This book delivers that knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Pfeifer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0750682876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780750682879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Butterworth-Heinemann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 7.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Michael Pfeifer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48991988351231,"sku":"9780750682879","price":81.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/materials-enabled-designs-michael-pfeifer-9780750682879","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
