BMEE 6422 Engineering Mechanics II: Statics, Solids, and Materials
This course provides an introduction to: (a) statics to including the study of forces, moments, friction, centers of mass, gravity and pressure using the equations of equilibrium in vector algebraic and calculus forms; (2) the behavior of solid materials, especially their motion and deformation under the action of forces, temperature changes, phase changes, and other external or internal agents; and (3) materials to include the characterization of crystallographic and microstructural properties of solids and the relationship of these characteristics to the mechanical behavior of metallic, polymeric, and composite materials. The course focus is on the use of industrial and research grade instrumentation to solve realistic problems in materials selection and materials engineering.
