MSE 52400 - Mechanical Behavior Of Polymers |
---|
Associated Term:
Fall 2022
Learning Outcomes: 1. Demonstrate fundamental understanding of solid mechanics: draw a free body diagram and employ the correct equations of state to solve two- and three-dimensional statics and solids problems. 2. Articulate in rubber elasticity. 3. Utilize time-temperature superposition to generate a master curve to fully describe the mechanical response of a viscoelastic material. Apply "spring and dashpot" models to describe nonlinear materials responses. 4. Describe a rheology experiment of a non-Newtonian fluid: interpret and analyze raw rheology data, identify key phase transitions. 5. Solve simple fracture mechanics problems. 6. Demonstrate an understanding of polymer deformation mechanisms. 7. Apply polymer yield criteria to predict failure resulting from a given loading scenario.
