(3 units). This course will cover both macroscopic (continuum) and microscopic (discrete) aspects of deformation and fracture in engineering materials. Topics covered include elasticity, plasticity, dislocation theory, strengthening mechanisms, cracks and notches, crack tip stress fields and plastic zones, energy principles, ductile, brittle and fatigue fracture, and toughening mechanisms. Course Component: Lecture The courses AMM 5130, MCG 5130, MCG 4135, and MCG 4535 cannot be combined for units.
