MSE 5820 - Mechanical Properties of Materials, Processing, and Design

Fall. 3 credits.

Corequisite: MSE 5840 or permission of instructor. Co-meets with MSE 4020 and MAE 3120.

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.
