Mechanical Behavior of Materials II

3 credits

Structural influences on mechanical properties of materials and strengthening mechanisms. States of stress and strain, failure criteria, multiaxial loads. Dynamic loading, kinematic and isotropic hardening, plasticity; Flaws and material reliability, probabilistic failures, fracture and toughening mechanisms. Stress life fatigue, fatigue crack growth, viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity. Prerequisite: AA 210; CEE 220; MSE 362. Offered: Sp.
