MEN 4060 - Advanced Materials

Credits: 4

Formerly: MEN5060
An advanced course on the constitutive behavior of active materials including piezoelectric ceramics, magnetostrictive materials, and shape memory alloys. Governing equations for the thermodynamics of electromechanical interactions, constitutive relations, and strain displacement relations will be developed. Students will propose and complete a research project that extends the course material.
Prerequisite(s): C- or better in MEN 3020 and MEN 3032.
When Offered: Typically every spring
