Title & Description		Author, Language, Type, Size	Last updated
Teach Yourself Crystallography		Mike Ashby / Granta, EN, PDF (1.9MB)	Mar 2009
	For student self-study of crystallography. Keywords: Materials, Crystallography, Crystal Structure, Symmerty, Cells.
Teach Yourself Phase Diagrams		Mike Ashby / Granta, EN, PDF (3MB)	Nov 2009
	For student self-study of phase diagrams and phase transformations. Keywords: Phase diagrams, Phase transformations, Heat treatment.
Useful Approximate Solutions for Standard Problems		Mike Ashby / Granta, EN, PDF (1.2MB)	13/09/2011
	Results for constitutive equations; for the loading of beams, columns and torsion bars; for contact stresses, cracks and other stress concentrations; for pressure vessels, vibrating beams and plates; and for the flow of heat and matter. Keywords: Mechanical Engineering, Equations, Design.
Data For Engineering Materials		Mike Ashby / Granta, EN, PDF (0.5MB)	30/08/2010
	This Booklet lists the names and typical applications of common engineering materials, together with data for their properties. Keywords: Materials, Properties, Applications.
How to write a paper		Mike Ashby / Granta, EN, PDF (0.5 MB)	13/09/2011
	To the student. This brief manual gives guidance in writing a paper about your research. Most of the advice applies equally to your thesis or to writing a research proposal. The content of the paper reflects the kind of work you have done: experimental, theoretical, computational. I have used, as a model, a typical Materials project: one combining experiment with modelling and computation to explain some aspect of material behaviour. Keywords: Writing, Paper, Research.
CES EduPack 2009 Durability Science Notes		Mike Ashby / Granta, EN, HTML	2009
	This is an extraction of some of the information CES EduPack 2009 holds on the durability of materials. It includes notes about the underlying reasons for the durability of materials in different environments—so called "Science Notes" and also information on where different environments arise and which materials perform well in these environments. See also Professor Ashby's White paper on this topic. Keywords: Durability, Corrosion, Science, Acids and Alkalis, Water, Solvents, Fuels and Oils, Gases, Flammability, Built Environments, UV, Temperature.
Checks and Estimates		Mike Ashby / Granta, D. Bassetti, Y. Brechet, ENSEEG, EN, PDF (1.5MB)	30/08/2010
	This booklet shows methods developed to check and estimate materials data. The methods in these papers are the starting point for some of the estimates used in CES EduPack. Granta have developed individual models for individual cases. Keywords: Materials, Properties, Data.
