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): MEEN 2332 or ENGR 2332 with a grade of C or better, ENGR 3450 with a grade of C or better.
