Required sophomore-level course for both Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering students.
The course covers: Stress and deformation analysis of bodies subjected to uniaxial loading, thermal strain, torsion of circular cross-sections, shear flow in thin-walled sections, bending of beams, and combined loading. Application of equilibrium, compatibility and load-deformation relations to solve statically determinate and indeterminate systems.
Prerequisites: ENGN.2050 Statics and MATH.1320 Calculus II.
Core graduate course in Mechanics & Materials Concentration for Master and Ph.D. programs in Mechanical Engineering.
The course covers: Quantification of structure-property relationships requires application of solid mechanics concepts to materials microstructure. Using micromechanics approach, the course focuses on the deformation and fracture behavior of metals, ceramics, composites and polymerics. Topics include: elastic behavior, dislocations, crystal plasticity, strengthening mechanisms, composite materials, glassy materials, creep and creep fracture, tensile fracture, and fatigue.
MECH. 5720: Graduate course in Design and Manufacturing Concentration for Master and Ph.D. programs in Mechanical Engineering.
IENG. 5030: Graduate course in Manufacturing and Automation Concentration for Master and Ph.D. programs in Industrial Engineering.
This course provides students with in-depth understanding and fundamental quantitative analysis skills of manufacturing processes. It introduces manufacturing processes in terms of tool and workpiece materials, machine tools, modelling and analysis methods, and state-of-art real-world advanced manufacturing applications. Processes to be covered include machining, integrated circuit / printed circuit board manufacturing, additive manufacturing, joining, forming, and plastic and composite manufacturing processes.
