Mechanical Behavior of Materials

Catalog description

Thorough investigation into the basic fundamentals of deformation and failure of engineering materials. Emphasis is given to crystalline structure and microstructural aspects relating to mechanisms of deformation, strengthening and fracture. Materials processing is also discussed with respect to controlling microstructure to achieve desired mechanical properties for engineering applications. Lecture-based with in-class lab exercises included. Course overlaps with: MSE 362 and MSE 462. Prerequisite: B ME 341. Offered: WSp.
