MSE515 : Mechanical Behavior of Solid Polymeric Materials

(MACROMOL 515). Mechanical Behavior of Solid Polymeric Materials Advisory Prerequisite: (MECHENG 211 and CHE 412) or MATSCIE 412 or MACROMOL 412; or permissions of instructor. Enforced Prerequisite: None. (3 credits) The mechanical behavior of polymers from linear viscoelastic to yield and fracture are covered. Specific topics include dynamic-mechanical relaxations, creep, yielding, crazing, fatigue and fracture mechanics. The materials include toughened plastics, polymer alloys and blends and composite materials. Structured design with plastics is also considered. CourseProfile (ATLAS)
