Critical Surveys of Data Sources

Excerpt from Critical Surveys of Data Sources: Mechanical Properties of Metals A survey of this type is never really complete or up-to-date. Descriptions of any given source need constant revision, new sources appear each year, and valuable - but obscure - sources are apt to be missed entirely. It is therefore hoped that readers and users of this survey will call all such errors and omissions to the attention of the authors. The sources surveyed are arranged in a convenient, but arbitrary, grouping as set forth in the Table of Contents. Many sources could as well have been classified in two or more categories and some readers might find another listing more appropriate than that shown here. However, the listing is sufficiently short that locating a source of interest should pose no problem. Two indices have also been provided: a Metals and Alloys Index and a Properties Index. These indices are necessarily not all-inclusive. Only major categories of coverage from each individual source have been entered. Nonetheless, the indices should prove useful in combination in locating a source of information on any mechanical property of any particular metallic material.
