Brief Course Desc<x>ription: 
<br>Mechanical Properties of Materials includes three major parts: Deformation and 
<br>Fracture of Materials, and Strengthening Mechanisms in Materials (mostly on 
<br>me<x>tals). The class will begin with tensile response of materials and then 
<br>dislocation theory and deformation mechanisms including slip and twinning. The 
<br>second part is strengthening mechanisms in me<x>tals, and the final part will 
<br>be 
<br>fracture behavior and elements of fracture mechanics. The prerequisite of this 
<br>course is ESS2500 Introduction to Materials Science I and ESS3510 Physical 
<br>me<x>tallurgy (I).
