MSET 5180 - Structural Dynamics 3 hours
Determines the effect of time-varying loads on structural performance and introduces single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems in free vibration circumstances and proceeds to forced response performance where loads are harmonic, periodic, impulsive, and generally time-varying. Multi degree of freedom (MDOF) systems and similar load response structural performances are developed using matrix methods.
Prerequisite(s): Graduate standing or consent of department.

MSET 5190 - Corrosion Engineering Technology 3 hours
Eight forms of corrosion including oxidation, uniform corrosion, galvanic corrosion, crevice corrosion, pitting, intergranular corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, flow accelerated corrosion (erosion corrosion), and selective leaching are discussed. Thermodynamics of corroding systems are discussed in terms of Pourbaix diagrams. Advanced electrochemical DC and AC testing techniques such as Potentiodynamic Polarization, Polarization Resistance, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy for corrosion rate measurements are discussed. Methods to prevent corrosion including applications of protective coatings such as thin films of diamond, diamond like films, as well as recent developments in self-healing coating systems are discussed. Mechanisms of corrosion prevention by cathodic and anodic corrosion inhibitors are discussed. Quantitative discussions on cathodic protection system design method through impressed current are also covered.
