TestudoLearning Objectives
The main objective of this course is to understand the structure-property relationships in materials science and engineering. A student completing this course satisfactorily should be able to:
- Identify features of crystal structures and their relationship to strengthening and failure mechanisms of materials.
- Understand the similarities and differences in the microstructure of metals, ceramics, polymers, biomaterials and nanomaterials and how these relate to their mechanical, thermal, electrical, magnetic and optical properties.
- Become familiar with common manufacturing processes for metals, ceramics, and polymers; their effects on structure; and their impact on sustainability.
- Identify process-structure-property relationships in engineering materials; and understand how these apply to materials selection in specific engineering problems. Consider sustainability in materials selection.
- Address basic concepts of engineering ethics.
Topics Covered
- Process-Structure- Property Relationship and Materials Classification and Selection.
- Atomic Structure and Interatomic Bonding.
- Structure of Crystalline Solids (metals and ceramics).
- Polymer Structures.
- Defects and imperfections in solids (metals and ceramics).
- Diffusion (metals and ceramics).
- Mechanical Properties 8. Deformation and Strengthening.
- Phase Diagrams and Phase Transformations.
- Remaining Deformation (Viscoelasticity) and Strengthening Mechanisms.
- Failure.
- Corrosion and Degradation of Materials.
Learning Outcomes
- an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
- an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
- an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
- an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
