MAE 5670
Polymer Mechanics

Course information provided by the 2021-2022 Catalog.

This course will provide foundations of polymer mechanics building from the basics of mechanics of materials. The focus will be split between experimental methods/data interpretation and modeling approaches. Topics will include: hyper-elasticity, viscoelasticity, glass transition temperature, and plasticity with applications to both synthetic and biological materials. There will also be a scientific literature reading component through which students will be able to pick their own focus areas in the latter part of the semester.


Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: ENGRD 2020 and MAE 3270, or MSE 2610, or permission of instructor.

Permission Note Enrollment limited to: graduate students.

Outcomes

  • Classify polymers into different regimes of behavior and explain their microstructural origin.
  • Analyze and interpret data from key experimental methods for polymer thermo-mechanical properties.

When Offered Spring.
