一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>Mechanical Properties of Materials includes three major parts: Deformation and Fracture of Materials, and Strengthening Mechanisms in Materials (mostly on Metals).  The class 
<br>will begin with tensile response of materials and  then dislocation theory and 
<br>deformation mechanisms including slip and twinning.  The second part is strengthening 
<br>mechanisms in metals, and the final part will be fracture behavior and elements of 
<br>fracture mechanics.   The prerequisite of this course is ESS3510 Physical Metallurgy (I).
