• EG-184 Mechanical Properties of Materials

  The course provides a basic understanding of the relationship between the microstructure and the mechanical properties of metals. It will build on certain aspects of mechanical performance introduced in EG-180 (Introduction to Materials Engineering) and provide a reference point for supplementary modules in Years 2 and 3.

• EG-213 Mechanical Properties of Materials

  The course provides a basic understanding of the relationship between the microstructure and the mechanical properties of metals. It will build on certain aspects of mechanical performance introduced in EG-180 (Introduction to Materials Engineering) and provide a reference point for supplementary modules in later years of the study. Module Aims: to introduce the underlying principles of the mechanical properties of engineering materials.

• EG-283 Mechanical Deformation in Structural Materials

  Following on from the first year module "Mechanical Properties" this module provides further detail about the deformation characteristics of a wide range of engineering materials. The course aims to develop the understanding of topics taught in the first year module by application to high performance materials such as titanium and nickel. Further understanding of deformation and damage mechanisms is gained through targeted units on elasticity, plasticity, alloy strengthening, mechanics of materials, fatigue and creep. The knowledge provided then allows for topics such as methods of mechanical testing and additive layer manufacturing. The module then seeks to draw these topics together by considering application to three main material classes, metals, ceramics and composites.
