Compulsory
D214, Monday 14:00-17:00
Mechanical behavior of materials: tensile test, stress-strain relations, brittle behavior, ductile
behavior, shear effect, hardness. Physical properties of materials: specific gravity, water
absorption, void ratio, permeability, capillary water absorption. Internal structure of materials:
atomic structure, ionic bonding, covalent bonding, metallic bonding. Van der Waals bond,
classification of materials. Crystalline structure: directions and planes, metals and ceramics.
Crystal defects: point defects, planar defects. Non-crystalline materials: Glass, fluid, gas, phases.
Solid solutions. Atomic diffusion. Strengthening mechanisms in metals, cold hardening, hot
hardening, alloying, annealing, eutectic alloys, heat treatment, tempering. Creep, relaxation,
fracture, and fatigue constitutive equations of materials.
There are many materials used for aircraft applications and the research on these materials has
been given big importance. Metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites have been used
commonly in aerospace industry. The objective of this course is to give enough information
about the atomic, molecular, crystalline structures of the materials and to teach the determination
of the material properties, modification of the material properties and control of the material
properties.
