No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1979–80 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Macroscopic aspects of deformation and fracture as measured by standard engineering testing in tension and compression. Microscopic aspects of plastic flow; the role of dislocations. Strengthening methods in engineering materials (strain hardening, solid solution, precipitate, dispersion and grain size strengthening). Static, dynamic and fatigue fracture of various engineering materials both metals and non-metals including composite materials. High temperature behaviour inciuding creep, superplasticity and superplastic forming and diffusion bonding of structural parts. Application of the working knowledge to various case studies of a real-life behaviour of materials in service.
As printed in the 1994–95 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
