(crosslisted)
(also MAE 3120)

Fall. 3 credits.

Prerequisite: MSE 2060. Corequisite: MSE 3040 or permission of instructor. Co-meets with MSE 5820.

E. Donnelly.

Relationship between microscopic mechanisms and macroscopic mechanical behavior of engineering materials, how mechanical properties can be modified, and criteria for selection and use of materials in design. Stress, strain and elastic constants as tensor quantities, viscoelasticity and damping, plastic deformation, creep deformation, fracture, and fatigue.
