Description:

(4 class hrs/wk, 3 cr) Sp This course investigates the relationships that exist between structures and the properties of materials. The study of atomic structure and chemical makeup provides the basis for material classification. The subjects of bonding forces and crystal structures are explored. Lecture topics include dislocations, strengthening mechanisms, slip systems, phase transformations and plastic deformation in polycrystalline materials. The mechanical properties of metals are a major focus in the lecture, demonstration and laboratory aspects of this course. Other topics include the applications and processing of metals, ceramics, polymers as well as composites. Students will use finite element analysis to create computer simulations to test various materials for suitability of specific applications. The emphasis is on ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. Prerequisite: MA3.396 Manufacturing Processes I, MTH 060 Introduction to Algebra or above, and reading level RD 090 Strategies for Effective Reading or above.
