MECH 452 - Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics

Institution:

Alfred University

Subject:

Mechanical Engineering

Description:

3 hours. An introduction to linear elastic fracture mechanics, calculation of stress intensity factors. Concepts of fracture, fracture toughness, fracture resistance. Fatigue crack nucleation, crack growth, high and low cycle fatigue, temperature effects, predictive equations. Prerequisites: (MECH 241 or CEMS 251), MATH 271. Courses of Instruction: New York State College of Ceramics 291 MECH 454 - Multiscale Analysis for Deformation and Failure 3 hours. The goal of this course is to develop tools for students to analyze deformation and failure of engineering materials from multiscale points of view. By developing knowledge of micromechanics, meso-mechanics and macro-mechanics students will have a foundation to develop more understanding and useful skill for analysis of elasticity, inelasticity, fracture and fatigue of engineering materials. Prerequisites: (MECH 241 or CEMS 251) MATH 271.
