3.00 Credits
Description: A comprehensive study of available engineering materials, focusing on their mechanical properties and failure modes, including fracture, fatigue, creep, and environmental degradation/corrosion, which will enable the engineer to select materials and/or discuss their requirements with professional materials engineers. The relationship of mechanical properties to atomic bonding and structure, as well as the thermal processes used to achieve specific structures, will be reviewed, which will enable the engineer to understand and diagnose quality problems in materials. To facilitate data access, the CES4 database program (Ashby) of the American Society for Metals (ASM) will be used. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E.
