Solutions to the Practice Problems from J.F. Shackelford, Introduction to Materials Science for Engineers, 6th Edition, Prentice- Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ, 2005 Beginning with Chapter 2, a set of Practice Problems follows immediately after worked-out Sample Problems. These exercises follow directly from the preceding solutions and are intended to provide a carefully guided journey into the first calculations in each new area. The solutions provided here allow students to independently check their own approach to these problems.
