-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisites: MET 232 and concurrent or completion of ME 216 or EM 321. A course concerned with responses of metals to loads. Areas covered include elastic and plastic deformation under different force systems, dislocation theory, fracture, internal friction, fatigue, creep, residual stresses, and general fundamentals of metal working. Students enrolled in MET 540 will be held to a higher standard than those enrolled in MET 440.
-
1.00 Credits
(0-1) 1 credit. Prerequisites: MET 232, and concurrent or completion of ME 216 or EM 321. A course designed to expose the student to practical experience on the mechanical behavior of metals and alloys including deformation processing and failure analysis.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisites: ME 316 or concurrent enrollment in MET 440. The course will cover heterogeneous material systems; basic design concepts and preparation; types of composite materials; advances in filaments, fibers and matrices; physical and mechanical properties; failure modes; thermal and dynamic effects; and applications to construction, transportation and communication. This course is cross-listed with ME 443.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisites: MET 320 or CHE 222 or ME 211 or graduate standing. Initially, the thermodynamics of electrochemical processes are covered; use of the Nernst equation and Pourbaix diagram is presented in this material. Fundamentals of electrode kinetics are then discussed with special emphasis on the derivation of the Butler-Volmer equation and application of the Evan's diagram. Following presentation of these fundamental concepts, phenomena observed in corrosion and oxidation such as uniform attack, pitting, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion fatigue are discussed. Finally, selection of materials for site specific applications is covered. Students enrolled in MET 545 will be held to a higher standard than those enrolled in MET 445. This course is cross-listed with ENVE 445/545 and CHE 445/545.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisites: MET 231, MET 232, EM 321 or ME 216, or permission of instructor. The principles of physical metallurgy, mechanical metallurgy, manufacturing processes, and service environments will be used to determine the cause(s) for failure of metallic, composite, and polymer engineering components. Analytical techniques and procedures to characterize fractographic features and microstructures will also be reviewed, such as optical metallography, macrophotography, and scanning electron microscopy. Actual failed engineering components from a variety of industrial applications will be used as examples and be evaluated in the course. Fundamental engineering concepts, legal procedures of forensic engineering, failure mechanisms, technical report writing, and remedial recommendations will also be discussed. Students enrolled in MET 550 will be held to a higher standard than those enrolled in MET 450.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisites: MET 320 or CHE 321 or CHEM 342. An advanced level course in aqueous materials processing. It covers the physical chemistry of aqueous solutions, ionic processes of solution, complex ions and coordinate compounds, reaction kinetics, high temperature and pressure aqueous chemistry electrolysis and crystallization. Students enrolled in MET 554 will be held to a higher standard than those enrolled in MET 454.
-
2.00 Credits
(0-2) 2 credits. Prerequisite: MET 352. A continuation of the design sequence.
-
