ADVANCED MATERIALS SELECTION

MS&E 350

The basic structures and resulting properties of solid materials, including phase equilibria, meta-stability, mechanical properties, failure, corrosion, and materials selection.

MS&E 471

Capstone experiences in materials design, selection and application for MSE students. Emphasis on creativity and application of fundamental principles in problem identification, experimental design, data acquisition and analysis, and presentation of results.

MS&E 260

Provides overview of the field of Materials Science and Engineering, with significant design and hands-on components. Highlights different types of materials, with a focus on describing the extensive impact that Materials Science and Engineering has had on society. Small teams provide hands-on experience in materials design, synthesis, and processing and the fabrication of materials with desired properties and function.

EMA/ME 708

Contemporary topics in composite materials, including innovations in sandwich structures, textile composites, and architected materials; fracture mechanics; durability and damage tolerance; experimental techniques; transient, micro, nonlinear, inelastic and environmental effects; advanced manufacturing methods: repair and applications. Knowledge of basic composite materials [such asCIV ENGR/​E M A/​M E  508] is strongly encouraged.

EMA 506

Analysis and design of load-carrying members, shear center, unsymmetrical bending, curved beams, beams on elastic foundations, energy methods, theories of failure, thick-walled cylinders, stress concentrations, design to prevent failure by excessive elastic deformation, plastic deformation and fracture.
