Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.
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.
Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: ENGRD 2020 and MAE 3270, or MSE 2610.
Satisfies Requirement Satisfies M.E. senior design requirement.
Outcomes- The student will be able to classify polymers into different regimes of behavior and explain their microstructural origin.
- The student will be able to analyze and interpret data from key experimental methods for polymer thermo-mechanical properties.
- The student will be able to describe, computationally implement, and find parameters for models that describe key aspects of polymer and gel mechanical behavior.
- The student will be able to explain how the thermo-mechanical properties of natural and synthetic polymers are central to applications of interest to the student.
Regular Academic Session. Choose one lecture and one project. Combined with: MAE 4670, MAE 5670
