Clayton First semester 2007 (Day)
This unit provides a broad foundation on engineering materials. It gives an introduction to the basic physical and mechanical properties of common materials (metals, composites and ceramics). It presents students with the basic knowledge of functional materials and devices. Material selection, materials performance and failure mechanisms will be discussed in application to selected components and modern devices in aerospace engineering and mechatronics.
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to:
Two written assignments: 20%
Laboratory work: 15%
Examination (3 hours): 65%
3 x 1 hour lecture, 1 hour of problem solving classes and 7 hours of private study per week. 3 x 3 hrs laboratory classes per semester.
