3.00 Credits
Provides a background in materials for graduate students with undergraduate majors in other branches of engineering and science: reviews basic bonding relations, structure, and defects in crystals. Lattice dynamics; thermodynamic relations in multi-component systems; microstructural control in metals and ceramics; mechanical and chemical properties of materials as affected by structure; control of properties by techniques involving structure property relations; basic electrical, magnetic and optical properties.
-
3.00 Credits
Thermo physical properties: specific heat, thermal expansion, electrical and thermal conductivity. Temperature dependence of elastic constants. Thermodynamic principles for the stability of microstructures at high temperatures. Strengthening mechanisms. Stress relaxation and damping. Creep deformation. Thermal fatigue and thermal shock. Fracture mechanisms. Refractory metals, superalloys, intermetallic compounds, carbon, ceramic materials. Protective coatings.
-
3.00 Credits
The multi-component nature of most material systems require understanding of phase equilibria and descriptions of microstructure. Attention will be given to phase equilibria in multi-component (ternary and higher) systems, and the stereological description of the microstructure of multiphase systems.
-
3.00 Credits
Micromechanisms of deformation and fracture of engineering materials. Brittle fracture and ductile fracture mechanisms in relation to microstructure. Strength, toughness, and test techniques. Review of predictive models. Recommended preparation: ENGR 200 and EMSE 303 or EMSE 427; or consent.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental science and technology of modern semiconductors. Thin film technologies for electronic materials. Crystal growth techniques. Introduction to device technology. Defect characterization and generation during processing properties of important electronic materials for device applications. Recommended preparation: EMSE 314.
-
3.00 Credits
Elasticity and dislocation theory; dislocation slip systems; kinks and dislocation motion; jogs and dislocation interactions, dislocation dissociation and stacking faults; dislocation multiplication, applications to yield phenomena, work hardening and other mechanical properties.
-
3.00 Credits
Crystal symmetries, point groups, translation symmetries, space lattices, crystal classes, space groups, crystal chemistry, crystal structures and physical properties.
-
3.00 Credits
This course seeks to create an understanding of the role of mineral-based materials in the modern economy focusing on how such knowledge can and should be used in making strategic choices in an engineering context. The history of the role of materials in emerging technologies from a historical perspective will be briefly explored. The current literature will be used to demonstrate the connectedness of materials availability and the development and sustainability of engineering advances with examples of applications exploiting structural, electronic, optical, magnetic, and energy conversion properties. Processing will be comprehensively reviewed from source through refinement through processing including property development through application of: titanium, beryllium, molybdenum, cobalt, vanadium, manganese, tantalum, rhenium, and rare earth group metals. The concept of strategic recycling, including design for recycling and waste stream management will be considered. Offered as EMSE 335 and EMSE 435. Prereq: Senior standing or graduate student.
-
0.00 Credits
To provide teaching experience for all Ph.D.-bound graduate students. This will include preparing exams/quizzes/homework, leading recitation sessions, tutoring, providing laboratory assistance, and developing teaching aids that include both web-based and classroom materials. Graduate students will meet with supervising faculty member throughout the semester. Grading is pass/fail. Students must receive three passing grades and up to two assignments may be taken concurrently. Recommended preparation: Ph.D. student in Materials Science and Engineering.
-
3.00 Credits
Microstructural effects on strength and toughness of advanced metals and composites. Review of dispersion hardening and composite strengthening mechanisms. Toughening of brittle materials via composite approaches such as fiber reinforcement, ductile phases, and combinations of approaches. Recommended preparation: ENGR 200 and EMSE 303 or EMSE 421; or consent.
