| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This is the first half of a two-semester course Fundamentals of Materials. The purpose of this course is to give a concise but comprehensive introduction covering all major classes of materials to the students majored in physical engineering. The characteristics of all main classes of materials - metals, polymers and ceramics, as well as their physical properties, are explained with reference to real-world examples. In the first semester we will firstly introduce the elements and atomic structure, and then mainly focus on the structure and mechanical properties of metallic materials. | ||
| Course Goals | Students are expected to have a broad understanding of fundamental aspects of metallic materials, such as atomic microstructure, microstructures and mechanical properties of metallic materials by taking this course. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
Week 1. Introduction to materials and materials science Week 2. Atomic structure and interatomic bonding Week 3. Structure of crystalline solids Week 4-5. Imperfections in solids Week 5. Diffusion Week 6-7. Mechanical properties of metals Week 8. Strengthening mechanisms in crystalline materials Week 9. Failure of materials Week 10. Phase diagrams Week 11. Phase transformations Week 12-13. Engineering alloys Week 14. Characterization techniques of the materials A total of 14 lectures and one feedback class will be given. |
