MMI 565 - Mechanical Behavior of Metalic Materials

Course Objectives

Understanding the Mechanical Behavior of Metallic Materials, Mechanical Metallurgy, Plastic Deformation, strengthening mechanisms
Gaining basic knowledge on , types of damage (Fracture, Fatigue, Creep, Corrosion, etc.) of metallic materials

Course Description

A seies of presentations is given of deformation and fracture in engineering materials, including elastic and plastic deformation from simple continuum mechanics and microscopic viewpoints, dislocation theory, alloy hardening and creep deformation, fracture mechanisms, linear elastic and nonlinear elastic fracture mechanics, toughening of metals, ceramics and composites, environmentallyassisted
cracking, fatigue failure, subcritical crack growth, stress/life and damage-tolerant design approaches.
