MANE 7100 - Mechanical Engineeering Foundations II


A presentation of the most common physical and mathematical modes used in the description of the mechanical behavior of materials. The course covers the microstructural and thermodynamic foundations of constitutive material behavior of interest in mechanical engineering applications; overview of elasticity and plasticity and their relationship to microstructural features; principles of rheology; viscoelasticity and creep; failure mechanisms including fracture crack propagation and fatigue crack growth. Particular attention throughout is given to the development of the ability to utilize the mathematical models to assess the reliability and life of mechanical engineering components at the design state.

Credit Hours: 3
