Text book: There is no specific textbook suggested for this course, but a series of books and articles are consulted for lecture materials.

Since a wide range of topics covered, there is not any textbook or specified reference book, but the following books, articles, internet websites (pictures and diagrams) were consulted in conjunction with the Lecturer’s own experience over the last thirty years to prepare the overheads. However, the Book by Prof. M.F. Ashby (Materials selection in Mechanical Design) is particularly a useful book for this course and is recommended as a useful addition to your personal library as it contains a large amount of data on materials and their applications in mechanical design.
