Introduction to materials engineering; Atomic bonding; Structure and characteristics of

metals; polymers and ceramics; Imperfections; Diffusion; Mechanical properties of metals,

polymers, ceramics; Equilibrium-phase diagrams; Microstructures of alloys; Heat

treatment of plain-carbon steels, cast irons and precipitation hardening.

Study of the mechanical behavior of solid bodies (Rods, shafts, beams, etc.) under various

types of loading. Mechanical and thermal stresses and strains; Stress-strain relations; Axial

deformation; Shear and bending moments in beams; Stresses in beams; Torsion of shafts,

thin walled vessels; Combined loadings; Analysis of plane stress and plane strain; Stress

and strain transformation.
