Laboratory, three hours per week. Solidification, deformation and softening processes in materials. May be repeated to a maximum of 12 credits. Application of engineering principles to the design and production of castings. 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. The nature of ceramic materials. The forming and thermal treatment of ceramic products.
