Catalog : MECH.5910 Mechanical Behavior of Materials (Formerly 22.591)

MECH.5910 — Graduate

Id: 003925 Offering: 1 Credits: 3-3

Description

Quantification of structure-property relationships requires application of solid mechanics concepts to materials microstructure. Using micromechanics approach, the course focuses on the deformation and fracture behavior of metals, ceramics, composites and polymerics. Topics include: elastic behavior, dislocations, crystal plasticity, strengthening mechanisms, composite materials, glassy materials, creep and creep fracture, tensile fracture, and fatigue.
