Goals The aim of this course is to introduce physics engineering students to the relationships between the structural properties of materials and their mechanical, physical and chemical properties and to teach the importance of material selection in their designs at the undergraduate level.
Course Content This course focuses on fundamental topics such as atomic structure, interatomic bonding, crystal structures of solids, defects in solids (point, line and plane), diffusion and diffusion mechanisms, mechanical properties of metals, dislocations and strength-increasing mechanisms, ductile and brittle fracture, fatigue, creep, and phase diagrams and transformations. In addition to these topics, information is also given about iron-based, non-ferrous, ceramic, polymer and composite materials and their areas of use in biomedical engineering.
