课程简介

Why do materials deform and break? How does nature engineer materials to be light yet stiff and strong? Find out in 3.032x!

课程大纲

  • The phenomenological (continuum) response of materials as well as the fundamental reasons for the behavior at an atomistic level
  • The main types of mechanical behavior of materials: linear elasticity, viscoelasticity, plasticity, high temperature creep of crystalline solids, fracture and fatigue
  • How to solve mechanics problems on uniaxial stress and strain and on beam bending and column buckling

This subject provides an introduction to the mechanical behavior of materials, from both the continuum and atomistic points of view. At the continuum level, we learn how forces and displacements translate into stress and strain distributions within the material. At the atomistic level, we learn the mechanisms that control the mechanical properties of materials. We will consider: linear elasticity (recoverable deformation at small displacements), viscoelasticity (behavior intermediate to that of an elastic solid and that of a viscous fluid), plasticity (permanent deformation), creep in crystalline materials (time dependent behavior), brittle fracture (rapid crack propagation) and fatigue (failure due to repeated loading of a material). Examples are drawn from metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, biomaterials, composites and cellular materials.
