Course content
This course focuses on the chemistry and physics of engineering materials (metals, alloys, and polymers) from a view point mechanical engineering. Emphases are put on atomic or molecular interpretation for physical or mechanical properties, the relationships between physical and chemical properties and performance of engineering materials. Topics to be covered include atomic structure and bonding in solid materials, crystalline structures, microstructures of the engineering materials, and an introduction to X-ray diffractometry that enables us to measure the crystalline structure (atomic arrangement) of solid materials. Over the course we will discuss how the atomic structure or its arrangement in solid materials determines the macroscopic properties of the materials such as tensile strength.
Purpose of class
To gain fundamental knowledge on materials characterization using X-ray(X-ray diffraction and chemical analyses) and related crystal structures.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand what X-ray is and how to produce X-ray.
  2. To understand classification of crystal structures that affects physical properties of solid materials.
  3. To understand microscopic mechanism of deformation of solid materials and atomic defects.
  4. To understand fundamental analyses for determining crystal structures by means of X-ray diffraction.
