Mechanical & Industrial Engrg 609 - Mech Prop Materials

Principles of mechanical behavior and failure of metals, polymers, and ceramics. Analysis of problems in design of structural materials that must meet certain strength and performance criteria. Emphasis on the engineering significance and use of various experimentally measured properties such as fatigue life, critical stress intensity factor, relaxation modulus, creep rupture life, and crack growth rate.

Open to graduate Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science & Engineering majors. Instructor permission is otherwise required to be enrolled.
