Mechanical Properties of Macro/Nanoscale Materials

1 Course Unit

The application of continuum and microstructural concepts to elasticity and plasticity and the mechanisms of plastic flow and fracture in metals, polymers and ceramics. Topics covered include elasticity, viscoelasticity, plasticity, crystal defects, strengthening, crystallographic effects, twinning, creep and fatigue. Emphasis will be on mathematical and physical understanding rather than problem solving. Spring Also Offered As: MSE 5050 Prerequisite: MSE 2200 or MEAM 2010 OR MATH 2400 1 Course Unit
