CIVE 375 Structural Material Behavior 3.0 Credits
Study of deformation, fracture and fatigue of structural materials used in infrastructure. Includes basic failure modes, yielding and plasticity, and fracture mechanics. Emphasis on analytical and predictive methods that designers use to avoid failure. Metals, ceramic and composites are considered, as is time-dependent behavior.
