MATERIALS SCIENCE

Course Description

The main purpose of this course is to study the relationship that exist between the structures and properties of materials. Review of inter-atomic and inter-molecular forces and bonds, crystal structure, crystallographic directions and planes, amorphous structure, x-ray diffraction techniques, microscopic techniques, and various types of structural imperfections are discussed. Concepts of force, stress, deformation and strain. Mechanical properties of materials: Elasticity, plasticity, viscosity, introduction to the logical concepts. Properties related to strength: Stress-strain curves, true stress and true strain, ductility, brittleness, toughness, resilience and hardness are studied. The course is ended with a discussion about fracture mechanism, fatigue and creep.
