Selection of materials

L. J. Davies

pp. 211-217

Abstract

It is probably true to say that a designer always asks too much of the materials with which he has to work. In general, this is a satisfactory state of affairs since it imparts to the materials scientist an ever present incentive to develop improved materials, and also it ensures that the designer has the best material for his purposes available at the time, within the confines of the economics of the exercise.
