PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS

Catalog description

Covers the structure and physical and mechanical properties of engineering materials, such as metals (ferrous and non-ferrous), polymers, ceramics and composites. Students learn the mechanical behavior of materials under different types of loading and testing of mechanical properties including elasticity, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, shear strength, bending strength and hardness. Heat treatment and the effects of the manufacturing processes on the material properties are also considered.
