Oral presentation (20%, any topics in Chapter 7 – Mechanical Properties, 4 students as a group, 15 minutes) ? Report (20%, any topics in materials science and engineering) ? Assignment (10%) Outline ? Introduction ? Atomic bonding in solids ? Structures of metals and ceramics ? Imperfections in solids ? Diffusion ? Mechanical properties ? Deformation and strengthening mechanisms ? Failure ? Phase diagrams and phase transformations ? Types and applications of materials Chapter One Introduction ? Materials science and engineering (MSE) ? Why study materials science and engineering ? Classification of materials ? Advanced materials What is materials science and engineering ? Materials science Concerned with the relationship between position, structure and properties of materials ? Materials engineering Concerned with designing or engineering the structure to produce a predetermined set of properties The structure of a material depends on what position it has and how it is processed. Also, the performance of a material is a function of its properties ? MSE: Compositionprocessingstructure propertiesperformance relationship Why study materials science and engineering All applied scientists and engineers in any engineering areas: design problems involving materials To select a right material from many thousands according to service conditions and property requirements, we need to have the knowledge of MSE To modify ex
