MAE 5670
Polymer Mechanics

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2021-2022.

This course will provide foundations of polymer mechanics building from the basics of mechanics of materials. The focus will be split between experimental methods/data interpretation and modeling approaches. Topics will include: hyper-elasticity, viscoelasticity, glass transition temperature, and plasticity with applications to both synthetic and biological materials. There will also be a scientific literature reading component through which students will be able to pick their own focus areas in the latter part of the semester.

When Offered Spring.

Permission Note Enrollment limited to: graduate students.
Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: ENGRD 2020 and MAE 3270, or MSE 2610, or permission of instructor.

Outcomes
  • Classify polymers into different regimes of behavior and explain their microstructural origin.
  • Analyze and interpret data from key experimental methods for polymer thermo-mechanical properties.
