Course Objectives
After successfully completing this course the student will be able to;
- Explain the behaviour (stiffness, strength, toughness, fracture, thermal and environmental resistance) of engineering polymers by emphasizing important relationships among their chemical and physical structure, compounding, reinforcing and processing.
- Recognize different behaviour of polymers and metals by comparing the advantages and deficiencies of each other in design.
- Perform engineering design using polymers via term-project team work.
Course Content
Review of engineering polymers and their processes. Effects of compounding, reinforcing and processing on the behavior of engineering polymer components. Materials selection and design for strength, stiffness, toughness, resistance to fatigue, creep, hostile environments and wear. Advantages and deficiencies compared with metallic alloys.
Course Learning Outcomes
- Ability to identify, to formulate, and solve engineering problems;
- Ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools;
- Knowledge of the scientific and engineering principles underlying the four major elements of the polymeric materials; structure, properties, processing and performance;
- Ability to apply and integrate knowledge from each of the four major elements of the field to solve materials and/or process selection and design problems.
