Description:

Not offered in the period from 08F through 10S A study of the fracture and fatigue behavior of a wide range of engineering materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, biological materials and composites). Topics include; work of fracture, fracture mechanics (linear elastic, elastic-plastic and plastic), fracture toughness measurements, crack stability, slow crack growth, environmentally assisted cracking, fatigue phenomenology, the Paris Law and derivatives, crack closure, residual stress effects, random loading effects. These topics will be presented in the context of designing to avoid fracture and fatigue. Prerequisite: Engineering 130 or permission of the instructor.
