May be repeated to a maximum of 12 credits. Engineering standing, CHE 230 or CHE 236, MSE 301, or consent of instructor. Application of engineering principles to the design and production of castings. This course illustrates applications of current technology to practical industrial problems and is designed for engineers of all disciplines. The fundamentals of momentum and heat transfer are developed.
Emphasis is placed on the solution of problems of interest to materials engineers.
Exact and approximate solutions are described to a wide variety of examples. Fiber reinforced, laminated and particulate materials are analyzed. Response of composite structures to static and dynamic loads, thermal and environmental effects, and failure criteria are studied. 444G or MSE 451. The fundamental principles of corrosion control and the basic mechanisms related to a better understanding of the causes of corrosion.
