Individuals who complete the MERT 12005 PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS course will gain an understanding of the structure and physical and mechanical properties of engineering materials, such as metals (ferrous and non-ferrous), polymers, ceramics, and composites. Students learn the mechanical behavior of materials under different types of loading and testing of mechanical properties including elasticity, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, shear strength, bending strength and hardness. Heat treatment and the effects of the manufacturing processes on the material properties are also considered. Hands on experience will be gained through experiments using a tensile test machine, Rockwell and Brinell hardness testers and other material characterization equipment.
