The objective of this second year course is to build on the first year course by introducing a number of more advanced topics. Properties of Materials: Presents more advanced material properties including fatigue and corrosion behaviour of metallic systems. The mitigation of these common failure routes will be explained and students will be able to making working estimates of likely material lifetimes. Students will learn more advanced materials selection strategies in order to deal with conflicting or differently weighted objectives. The possibilities of manipulating material properties via thermomechanical processing will be discussed, via phase diagrams and transformation curves, in order to impart a working knowledge of common alloy systems. An emphasis is placed on the Fe-C system given its importance to engineers. Mechanics of Materials: For Mechanics of Materials, these will include non-symmetric bending of beams, thick walled cylinders, yield criteria, torsion of non-circular sections, buckling, energy methods, rotational stresses and bending of plates. Students should gain an understanding of the
