Study Notes
- Course assessment includes 1 written exam with 2 questions, potentially online and open book if social distancing measures are in place.
- Coursework consists of 2 pieces, one set by the lecturer, likely an essay or group presentation, due by the end of Week 7.
- For lecture content and assessment questions, students are advised to use the MyPlace forum instead of emailing the lecturer directly.
- Materials Science and Engineering focuses on developing new materials based on understanding their structure, processing, and properties for specific applications.
- Material families include Metals and Alloys, Ceramics, Glasses, Polymers, and Composite materials like Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) and Natural Composites.
- Engineers have less control over properties like density and cost, but more control over structural properties (stiffness, strength, etc.) which define operational limits.
- Stress-strain testing, fatigue properties, stress intensity factors, and material failure modes are critical considerations in material engineering.
- Lecture topics cover structural properties of materials, crystals, defects, phases, microstructures, ceramics, glasses, light alloys, high-temperature alloys, and composites.
