Course Description: The
objective of this course is to develop an understanding of the important linkages
between the structure and mechanical properties of the materials. The
mechanical properties of the materials, on their turn, determine the
performance. We are forced with an ever increasing number of materials, with
ever more complex microstructures and mechanical properties. The traditional
structural materials are metals, ceramics, and polymers. Monolithic materials
are giving ways to composites in many applications. This course will cover the
areas: Structure, Properties, (mechanical), and Testing (Mechanical).
