Explores plasticity in single crystals, including mechanisms of plastic flow and strain hardening, with a focus on dislocation behavior and geometrically necessary dislocations.
Explores models for plastic deformation in glassy and semi-crystalline polymers, including the Eyring model and the influence of secondary transitions.
Delves into the mechanical properties and strengthening mechanisms of alloys, including dislocations, slip systems, and various strengthening mechanisms.
Explores assembly techniques in mechanical systems, covering bolted joints, brazing, welding, and gluing, as well as the principles of tightening nuts and self-locking in screw-nut assemblies.
Explores slope stability analysis using the limit equilibrium method and the Kerisel Chart for determining critical slip surfaces and factors of safety.
