Relationship of mechanical behavior to material structure and mechanisms of deformation and failure. Topics include: elasticity, viscoelasticity, plasticity, creep, fracture, and fatigue. Case studies and examples drawn from a variety of classes of materials including: metals, ceramics, polymers, thin films, composites, and cellular materials.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Materials-Science-and-Engineering/3-22Spring-2008/CourseHome/index.htmvan Vliet, Krystyn2009-05-19T04:02:44-04:003.22en-USMaterials Science and EngineeringPolymer/Plastics Engineeringviral capsidesstudent projectsdefect nucleationsuperelastic alloysbattery materialscarbon nanotubesthin filmssemiconductor diodescompositionmicrostructurepolymersceramicssemiconductorsmetalsfatiguefracturecreepplasticityviscoelasticityelasticityfailuredeformationmaterial structuremechanical behaviorPhenomenologyMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm As its name implies, the 3.042 Materials Project Laboratory involves working with such operations as investment casting of metals, injection molding of polymers, and sintering of ceramics. After all the abstraction and theory in the lecture part of the DMSE curriculum, many students have found this hands-on experience with materials to be very fun stuff - several have said that 3.042/3.082 was their favorite DMSE subject. The lab is more than operating processing equipment, however. It is intended also to emulate professional practice in materials engineering project management, with aspects of design, analysis, teamwork, literature and patent searching, web creation and oral presentation, and more.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Materials-Science-and-Engineering/3-042Spring-2008/CourseHome/index.htmChiang, Yet-MingRoylance, David2009-01-26T03:37:08-05:003.042en-USMaterials Science and EngineeringTaxidermy/Taxidermistand hands-on work using student and MIT laboratory shops.
