About this book

A concise introduction for engineering students to the techniques used in the testing of engineering materials for their hardness, toughness, tensile strength and other properties. The significance of test results is discussed throughout and self-assessment exercises are included at the end of each chapter. As well as covering the traditional methods, this well illustrated book also includes a chapter on non-destructive testing.
