MS3202: Properties, Performance & Failure of Engineering Materials - NPS Online
Properties, Performance & Failure of Engineering Materials
Course #MS3202
Est.imated Completion Time: 3 months
POC: NPS Online Support
Overview
The purpose of this course is to advance the students' understanding of the fundamentals of materials science, while putting that understanding in the context of the behavior of materials in engineering applications. Contemporary developments in engineering materials such as composites, ceramics and polymers are considered, as well as traditional engineering alloys such as steels and aluminum alloys. Performance and failure histories of materials in service will be studied, as well as conventional textbook subjects. Examples pertinent to Naval, Aero and Combat Systems Science are emphasized. Topics include mechanical properties, fracture, fatigue, failure analysis and corrosion.
