Design & Application of Materials in Science & Eng - MATS1192 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description The design of materials for applications in industry and society including, for example, metallurgical, electronic, medical, packaging and transport. Microstructure and structure-property relationships of the main types of engineering materials (metals, ceramics, polymers and composites); micromechanisms of elastic and plastic deformation; fracture mechanisms for ductile, brittle, creep and fatigue modes of failure in service; corrosion; metal forming by casting and wrought processes; phase equilibria of alloys; microstructural control and application to commercial engineering materials. Information retrieval. Communication skills. Plant visits. Introductory materials laboratories. Application of fundamental learning to problem solving.
Please note that MATS1192 will begin running in session 2, 2007
