Course Description

Since the invention of the airplane, research into the strength and fracture of materials has made indispensable contributions to establishing safety and reliability. The subjects of this course includes the fundamental knowledge of the strengthening and fracture mechanisms of materials, which engineers must have. Lattice defects and dislocations, the stress strain relation, the strengthening mechanism of metals, creep at high temperature, fracture mechanics and fatigue phenomenon will be presented systematically, based on the elasticity theory.

Course Objectives

This course presents the strength and fracture of materials in conjunction with the lattice defects. Properties of materials applying to airplanes and space vehicles will be discussed from the viewpoint of strengthening metallic materials. Student can discuss with experts in the field of strength and fracture of materials. The course includes the following topics,
1. Fundamental elasticity theory
2. Lattice defects and dislocation
3. Stress- strain relation
4. Strengthening mechanism of materials
5. Creep
6. Fracture mechanics
7. Fatigue

Requirements(Assignments)

Student must pre-study scientific terms. Lecture note and related papers will be shown up in LMS. Since understanding of lattice defects is not easy, related topics will be presented by DVD animation. Homework will be shown in LMS.

Note

Solid mechanics 1 was taken. DVD ‘Introduction to Engineering Materials’ by C.J.McMahon will be utilized to understand dislocation.
