Atlas of Material Damage (3rd Edition)

This book has microscopic pictures, schematic diagrams, and a few graphs, which show how materials fail, how they are produced not to fail, and how they are designed to perform functions to make outstanding products. All this is presented in color print, which emphasizes the peculiarities of morphology. Each illustration is fully explained in the text. The most recent findings during 2017-2021 are included, and their importance emphasized. In the near past, products were distinguished by their formulations, which constituted highly guarded commercial secrets and know-how. Today, this is not enough. MATERIALS, TO COMPETE, must have optimal structure and specially designed morphology. This book gives numerous examples of how this special morphology can be achieved in electronics, the plastics industry, the pharmaceutical industry, aerospace, automotive applications, medicine, dentistry, and many other fields (see the full list at the end).
