Book SynopsisThis junior/senior textbook presents fundamental concepts of structure property relations and a description of how these concpets apply to every metallic element except iron. Part One of the book describes general concepts of crystal structure, microstructure and related factors on the mechanical, thermal, magnetic and electronic properties of nonferrous metals, intermetallic compounds and metal matrix composites. Part Two discusses all the nonferrous metallic elements from two perspectives: First it explains how the concepts presented in Part One define the properties of a particular metallic element and its alloys. Second is a description of the major engineering uses of each metal. This section features sidebar pieces describing particular physical property oddities, engineering applications and case studies.

Book SynopsisThis book presents an organized approach to quality management, control, and improvement. Because quality problems usually are the outcome of uncontrolled or excessive variability, statistical tools and other analytical methods play an important role in solving these problems.Trade Review“Your book Managing, Controlling, and Improving Quality worked out very well in my senior-level class in the past fall semester. Actually students really liked the book. I planned to cover a little bit of acceptance sampling plans but I didn’t have sufficient time. I did cover Chapter 9 Reliability though. It was a great mix of managing aspects of quality, tools and techniques of quality control and design of experiments, plus a little bit of reliability. Students were happy and I was also happy.

Book SynopsisAs the Lead Reliability Engineer for Ford Motor Company, Guangbin Yang is involved with all aspects of the design and production of complex automotive systems.Trade Review"This book is quite different from traditional books written on reliability engineering so far and is authored by a person who has a rich industrial experience of working with Ford Motor Company. The book is quite informative and provides a good insight of methodologies and techniques used in reliability engineering. This will go a long way in creating competitive products that perform well in the market and also provide customer satisfaction." (International Journal of Performability Engineering; 1/09) "It is a very practical book which provides a comprehensive discussion on reliability engineering concepts and techniques throughout a product life cycle. The author has done a great job in explaining the up-to-date reliability techniques in a very practical manner and using simple and straightforward language. This book will prove very useful for reliability engineers, testing engineers, quality engineers and design engineers." (Reliability Review, December 2008) "This book gives both starting and experienced engineers a very nice overview of the different methods and tools that can be used for reliability engineering. It is very nice that the book gives a lot of (often simplified) examples; it will therefore not be difficult to apply the theory in industrial practice." (Quality and Reliability Engineering International, 2008) " This is a useful and an important book. It should be on the shelf of all reliability engineers and other engineers who have responsibility for product reliability. It will also be of interest to many of those doing research in the area. Overall, the book is well-written and easy to read." (Journal of Quality Technology, April 2008) "The author has done a great job in explaining the practical and state-of-the-art techniques to access and enhance reliability throughout the product life cycle. This book deliberates on a wide range of topics in reliability engineering. Practical examples and exercises, mostly from the automotive industry, are used to illustrate the ideas and methodologies. Readers of this book are expected to have some knowledge of basic statistical inference, statistical modeling, and probability theory. This book will be of practical use for a variety of engineers, including reliability engineers, quality engineers, test engineers, systems engineers, or design engineers, who are working in different stages of the product life cycle. It will also serve well as a textbook or a reference book to students in a course on reliability, quality, or industrial engineering."
