Course description and aims

To accomplish material selection and to develop advanced materials, we must know methods to evaluate deformation and strength of materials quantitatively. The elasticity and the theory of dislocations are respectively academic frameworks to understand elastic and plastic deformation behaviors of crystalline materials.
The first half of this course teaches the elasticity and the theory of dislocations. In the second half of this course, explaining the plastic deformation of crystalline materials and the external force to cause the plastic deformation, we consider mechanical properties of practical materials under various conditions and methods to increase strength of materials. Exercise problems are assigned during both of the first and second halves of the course.

Student learning outcomes

By completing this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand methods to evaluate deformation and strength of materials quantitatively, various modes of plastic deformation and fracture, characteristic values representing mechanical properties of materials and necessary conditions of desirable structural materials.
2) Understand the elasticity as fundamental techniques to evaluate deformation and strength of solid materials and the theory of dislocations to discuss mechanisms of plastic deformation of materials.

Keywords

elasticity, theory of dislocations, crystal defects, mechanics of dislocations, mechanical properties, strengthening mechanisms, creep, high-temperature deformation, fracture, cyclic deformation, fatigue.

Competencies that will be developed
