MATERIALS SCIENCE

Course Description

The main purpose of this course is to study the relationship between the structures and properties of materials. Review of interatomic and intermolecular 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 last part of the course includes discussions on the fracture mechanism, fatigue and creep.
