MAE 3270
Mechanics of Engineering Materials

Course information provided by the 2016-2017 Catalog.

Mechanics of deformable bodies and a reinforcement of the concept of "simple engineering elements" for mechanical analysis associated with design.  There is an introduction to the broad range of properties and behaviors of engineering materials as they relate to mechanical performance.  Emphasis is placed on general states of stress and strain, on elasticity and combined loading effects.  Failure criteria including yielding, fracture and fatigue are developed.  A general introduction to the function/constraints/objectives approach to material selection associated with mechanical design is provided with candidate material systems coming from metals, polymers, ceramics and/or composites.  A general overview of material processing will be presented within this context of material selection.


Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: ENGRD 2020.
