This course should enable the student to:
- Familiarize with classification of engineering materials
- Understand the basic properties of materials and structure of materials.
- Study the application of materials
- Understand the selection of materials, selection procedure including design specifications, criteria for selection etc.
- Understand various tests to study the properties of materials
|
A student who satisfactorily complete the course should be able to:
- Explain the importance of material study and state the type of material such as metals, polymers, ceramics, composites and semiconductors and also their applications.
- Describe the properties of various materials such as mechanical, electrical, thermal, physical and chemical properties of materials.
- the crystal and non-crystalline structures of materials.
- Distinguish between the properties of amorphous and crystalline materials
- Apply the generalized form of hooks law to predict the elastic behavior of the different materials. Characterize materials by stress and strain curves. Carryout laboratory tests on the above.
- Carryout destructive and non-destructive tests in the laboratory.
- Select a suitable material for any given product based on the design specifications and selection criteria.
- Refer to the standard data sources to find the properties of the suitable material and selection.
