Prerequisite

Physical Metallurgy

Course Objectives

The main objectives are to provide students with basic understanding of phase

transformation by heat treating and stress-induced hardening, linear and nonlinear elastic behavior, deformation under multi-axial loading, plastic deformation and yield criteria, dislocation plasticity and strengthening mechanisms, creep, stress concentration effects, brittle versus ductile fracture, fracture mechanisms at different scales, fatigue, contact deformation, and wear.

Course outcomes: After completing this course, the student should be able to:

• Understand the different modes of failures like fracture, fatigue and creep of ductile and brittle materials
