What will you learn?

Introduction to diverse kinds of engineering materials Overview of what determines the properties of materials and how we engineer them Structure of materials and various lengthscales: crystal structure, electromagnetic structure, defect structure, microstructure Stability and metastability of materials: the thermodynamics and kinetics The tools used in materials science: x-ray diffraction, phase diagrams, TTT diagrams Properties of materials: elasticity, plasticity, fracture, fatigue, creep, conduction, magnetism
This ebook hopefully will prove an invaluable guide to a learner of materials science & engineering

Guidelines to Readers
The contents have been developed such that most of the material is in the form of figures, flow charts, video graphics and less is in the form of text. Hence, instead of saying happy reading we wish you happy viewing!

Instruction for viewing

Using Powerpoint files (.ppt). Click on the relevant hyperlink on the Navigator page. In the PowerPoint presentations Right Click on the Menu bar to launch the web toolbar (you can use this to navigate back and forth) Using .pdf (Portable Document Format) files. Adobe Acrobat Reader- freeware (http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/) will be required for this purpose. Using Open Office. Powerpoint (.ppt) and Open Office Presentation (.odp) files can be opened with Open Office (http://download.openoffice.org/).

VIEWING POWERPOINT FILES

Start with the PowerPoint files by double clicking on any file. To start PowerPoint (PPT) presentation from the first slide press F5 To start PowerPoint (PPT) presentation from the current slide press Shift + F5 To scroll down slides use Page Down or Text hyperlinks are underlined in blue colour

OTHER TIPS IN VIEWING

Text boxes and figures may also be hyperlinked (curser has to be placed on the item to see that it is hyperlinked- arrow will change into a hand()) Some of the hyperlinks may have screen tips place curser on the hyperlink to see tip If you want to open a hyperlink as a separate presentation Click on the hyperlink If you want to open a hyperlink within the current window in the current presentation press Control + Click on the hyperlink (this will work if you have launched the PPT file directly by double clicking) From a 'hyperlinked presentation' to come back to the main presentation press Esc

 Note on accompanying videos

At various places in the chapters there are hyperlinks to videos (.mpg) files to view these you will need an appropriate viewer (e.g. windows media player). (.gif graphics will directly play inside .ppt) A listing of these videos is given in the video_library.ppt Though the chapters are complete in themselves with figures, these videos give classroom style explanation of concepts using models.

Since concepts are presented in presentation mode, READ EVERY LINE AND EVERY WORD

A note on the platform chosen for presentation Windows (XP) based applications have been used to develop the course material. These include: Word, Excel and Powerpoint (2003 versions)

Users of Linux and other platforms may use the pdf version of the Word and Powerpoint files. Additionally, students not having access to Microsoft Office may use the OpenOffice freeware to open the MS office files: http://www.openoffice.org/ (download and install: http://download.openoffice.org/)
(there might be some losses in conversion- which is usually not major if Office 2003 is used along with Open Office 3.1)

Guidelines to Teachers & Instructors

The course contents are extensive in some places and instructors may want to reduce the content in some topics. Instructors may download the appropriate files and delete the portion not needed. This will help tailor the contents for any specific syllabus or need. Any feedback or comments on improvement from instructors and students alike would be highly appreciated (anandh@iitk.ac.in).
