Course Description

This lecture presents the relationships between the mechanical properties of materials and their structures that are utilized in jet engines and airplanes. Strengthening mechanisms of materials are understood systematically, based on the lattice defects such as vacancies, dislocations, stacking faults, grain boundaries, solute atoms, interstitial atoms and precipitates. Fracture and creep behavior and fatigue of metallic materials are also discussed. An overview of the effects of lattice defects on the mechanical properties of materials will be looked at. Observations of fractured specimens using the scanning electron microscope will be trained.

Course Objectives

Effects of microstructures on the mechanical properties of materials such as plastic deformation have been discussed. Strengthening mechanism of materials are studied systematically, based on the dislocation theory. The role of lattice defects such as vacancies, dislocations, stacking faults, grain boundaries, solute atoms, interstitial atoms, and precipitates will be discussed in detail using DVD program in University of Pennsylvania. Student will be able to discuss with experts in this field.
