MM1 30 Engineering Materials
10 credit points 4.5 hours per week average
Hawthorn Assessment: practical work and examination
A first year subject in the Bachelor of Engineering
Objectives
The subject aims to develop a broad understanding of the
principles from which materials derive their properties, their
failure modes, and hence develop a sound basis for material
selection and application.
Content
Technology and Application
Liquid and solid processing techniques and their application
to materials classes, (metals, plastics and ceramics).
Material Properties
Mechanical properties, particularly strength and toughness, and
their relationshiv to the atomic and molecular microstructures
of the different material classes. Electronic properties, electrical,
magnetic, optical, thermal, and their relationship to the various
bonding regimes of the material classes.
Environmental Deterioration and Failures
Studies of the mechanical, chemical and electrical aspects
and their interaction with the atomic and molecular
structures present in the material classes.
Case Studies in Materials Selection
These are from a variety of applications from aerospace to
medicine.
The course is supported by four practical sessions of two
hours duration each, introducing the students to the
concepts of strength, toughness, and environmental
deterioration.
