Course Objective:
This course will enable graduate students to become familiar with the formation of metallic materials,
polymers, and composite materials. It will cover applications and properties, including elasticity, creep,
plasticity, composites theory and fabrication, adaptive materials, corrosion-resistant alloys, and advanced
engineered materials. Other topics will include the nonlinear behavior of materials.

Reading:
Must include name, class, HW set #. Each problem must include statement of problem,
all assumptions and a clear and complete answer, Use engineering paper when
possible. Please staple homework before class, and hand in flat, not folded.
Essays may be assigned periodically instead of problems.
No late work, except under special circumstances.
Missing more than one class is grounds for immediate dropping or drop of grade.
All homework, tests, reports, or lab-work must be your own.
You will be expected to have completed the reading assignment before each class.
