Objectives of the Course
|
Providing a comprehensive overview of structure of crystalline solids
Distinguishing the similarities and differences of dislocations in different crystal structures
Discussing different hardening mechanisms and their contributions to plastic deformation
Operating basic microscale modelling to illustrate dislocations and strengthening mechanisms.
|
|
Course Content
|
This course aims to introduce the theory of dislocations and strengthening mechanisms in solids. Topics include the structure of crystalline solids, dislocations in different crystal structures and several strengthening mechanisms in solids. Several in-situ electron microscope videos and atomic/micro scale modelling animations will be provided throughout the course
