Covers the basics of structural mechanics, including static forces, stress, strain, and structural elements like bars, cables, trusses, and beams.
Explores metal hardening mechanisms, grain boundaries, plasticity of polymers, ceramics, and hardness testing methods.
Explores plasticity in single crystals, including mechanisms of plastic flow and strain hardening, with a focus on dislocation behavior and geometrically necessary dislocations.
Explores plasticity, tensile ductility, stress-strain curves, radiation-induced embrittlement, and necking in materials.
Explores material behavior in shear, shear forces, stress, equilibrium, shear laws, tension/compression, plane shear, shear rate, constrained slip, and shear strength.
Explores the plasticity of materials, focusing on deformation behavior, dislocations, and mechanical properties of metals, ceramics, and polymers.
