For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmHere we will learn about the mechanical behavior of structures and materials, from the continuum description of properties to the atomistic and molecular mechanisms that confer those properties to all materials. We will cover elastic and plastic deformation, creep, and fracture of materials including crystalline and amorphous metals, ceramics, and (bio)polymers, and will focus on the design and processing of materials from the atomic to the macroscale to achieve desired mechanical behavior. Integrated laboratories provide the opportunity to explore these concepts through hands-on experiments including instrumentation of pressure vessels, visualization of atomistic deformation in bubble rafts; nanoindentation, and uniaxial mechanical testing; as well as writing assignments to communicate these findings to either general scientific or nontechnical audiences. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Materials-Science-and-Engineering/3-032Fall-2007/CourseHome/index.htmvan Vliet, KrystynVander Sande, John2008-04-17T12:40:47-04:003.032en-USMaterials Science and EngineeringMaterials Scienceatomic force microscopy and nanoindentation.bubble raft modelsand ancient materials.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course focuses on the latest scientific developments and discoveries in the field of nanomechanics, the study of forces and motion on extremely tiny (10-9 m) areas of synthetic and biological materials and structures. At this level, mechanical properties are intimately related to chemistry, physics, and quantum mechanics. Most lectures will consist of a theoretical component that will then be compared to recent experimental data (case studies) in the literature. The course begins with a series of introductory lectures that describes the normal and lateral forces acting at the atomic scale. The following discussions include experimental techniques in high resolution force spectroscopy, atomistic aspects of adhesion, nanoindentation, molecular details of fracture, chemical force microscopy, elasticity of single macromolecular chains, intermolecular interactions in polymers, dynamic force spectroscopy, biomolecular bond strength measurements, and molecular motors.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Materials-Science-and-Engineering/3-052Spring-2007/CourseHome/index.htmOrtiz, Christine2007-11-02T02:56:06-04:003.052en-USMaterials Science and EngineeringAgricultural/Biological Engineering and BioengineeringlipidboneDNAproteinchemistryphysicsquantum mechanicsadhesionbondingatomicmoleculebiomimeticsseashellpolymercollagennanotubemalariageckonanoindentationatomic force microscopeAFMcellsbiological engineeringbiologyMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
