Six case studies have been relegated to Chapter 22, " Materials Selection and esign Considerations, which are as follows Materials Selection for a Torsionally Stressed Cylindrical Shaft Automobile Valve Spring Failure of an automobile rear axle Artificial Total Hip Replacement Chemical Protective Clothing Materials for Integrated Circuit Packages References to these case studies are made in the left-page margins at appropriate locations in the other chapters. All but " Chemical Protective Clothing" appeared in the sixth edition; it replaces the"Thermal Protection System on the Space Shuttle Orbiter" case study STUDENT LEARNING RESOURCES (IW WVILEL COM/COLLEGE/CALLISTER Also found on the book's Web site(under"Student Companion Site")are several important instructional elements for the student that complement the text; these include the following: 1. VMSE: Virtual Materials Science and Engineering. This is essentially the same software program that accompanied the previous edition, but now browser based for easier use on a wider variety of computer platforms. It consists of in- teractive simulations and animations that enhance the learning of key concepts in materials science and engineering, and, in addition, a materials properties/cost database. Students can access VMSE via the registration code included with all new copi Throughout the book, whenever there is some text or a problem that is sup plemented by VMSE, a small"icon"that denotes the associated module is in cluded in one of the margins. These modules and their corresponding icons are as follows. Metallic Crystal Structures and Crystallography Phase Diagrams Ceramic Crystal Structures Diffusion Repeat Unit and Polymer Structures Tensile Tests Dislocations aL Solid-Solution Strengthening 2. Answers to the Concept Check questions. 3. Direct access to online self-assessment exercises. This is a Web-based assess- ment program that contains questions and problems similar to those found in the text: these problems/questions are organized and labeled according to textbook sections. An answer/solution that is entered by the user in response to a ques tion/problem is graded immediately, and comments are offered for incorrect re sponses. The student may use this electronic resource to review course material, and to assess his/her mastery and understanding of topics covered in the textSix case studies have been relegated to Chapter 22, “Materials Selection and Design Considerations,” which are as follows: • Materials Selection for a Torsionally Stressed Cylindrical Shaft • Automobile Valve Spring • Failure of an Automobile Rear Axle • Artificial Total Hip Replacement • Chemical Protective Clothing • Materials for Integrated Circuit Packages References to these case studies are made in the left-page margins at appropriate locations in the other chapters.
