Objectives of the Course To teach students concepts in materials science and to equip them with the ability to
establish connections between engineering materials and
their behavior and to evaluate them.
Course Content Principles of material selection. The concepts of stress and strain. Members subjected to tension, compression, and
bending. Torsion resulting from combined stresses. Residual stresses,
fatigue creep, damping, stiffness, and specific material properties. Evaluation of test results for material selection in various
applications.
Course Methods and Techniques Experimental application, observation, measurement, data analysis, and problem-solving.
