Prereq: Chemistry (GIR) and 2.001
Units: 3-3-6
Lecture: MW11-12.30 (3-270) Lab: M1-3 (BEGINS FEB 10) (1-307) or M3-5 (BEGINS FEB 10) (1-307) or T1-3 (BEGINS FEB 10) (1-307) or T3-5 (BEGINS FEB 10) (1-307) or W1-3 (BEGINS FEB 10) (1-307) or W3-5 (BEGINS FEB 10) (1-307) +final

Introduces mechanical behavior of engineering materials, and the use of materials in mechanical design. Emphasizes the fundamentals of mechanical behavior of materials, as well as design with materials. Major topics: elasticity, plasticity, limit analysis, fatigue, fracture, and creep. Materials selection. Laboratory experiments involving projects related to materials in mechanical design. Enrollment may be limited due to laboratory capacity; preference to Course 2 majors and minors.
