Design and Analysis of Modern Structural Materials 1
This course takes the students from atomic arrangements, to crystal structure, grain structure, texture, defects in materials, and finally to thermodynamic assessment of materials microstructure. The main focus is on metallic materials with steel metallurgy and steel classification being commonly used to demonstrate course content, while an introduction to ceramics are provided. Basic introduction in materials characterization is provided to give the students the background necessary to distinguish different materials in use.
