CET 212 - Properties of Materials

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

CIVIL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

Description:

A study of atomic and crystalline structure as a means of understanding material behavior. The influence of defects, strengthening mechanisms and heat treatments are examined. Mechanical strength properties in tension/compression, shear, hardness and impact and related test procedures are investigated. The Iron-Carbon phase diagram is studied. Coverage also addresses ceramics, plastics and composites. Dual listed as MET 212. Prerequisite: CHEM 101. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Determine the role of imperfections as they effect material properties, and lead to failure (2) Use Young's modules, modules of rigidity and Poission's Ratio in stress and strain calculations (3) Determine means of mitigating corrosion (4) Apply knowledge of phase diagrams to design heat treatment methodologies (5) Apply knowledge of electrical properties such as ohmic resistivity (6) Analyze the properties of ceramics (7) Make appropriate materials selections for specific manufacturing applications
