MEEN 4130 - Failure of Deformable Bodies

3 hours

Continuum mechanics approach to failure mechanisms in deformable solid bodies with their system design applications and use of engineering plasticity fundamentals to describe the permanent deformation in solids. The indentation hardness tests are related to plasticity. The fracture, fatigue, and creep modes-of-failure analysis seeks to explain the mechanism, the use in mechanical systems design, service reliability, and their interrelation.

Prerequisite(s): ENGR 2332, ENGR 3450.
