Mechanics of Metals and Alloys

Identify the different types of mechanical creep and calculate creep rate. [Pg.381]

Apply time-temperature superposition principles to polymer moduli and calculate shift factors. [Pg.381]

Describe temperature, molecular weight, and strain-rate effects on the mechanical properties of polymers. [Pg.381]

Calculate axial and transverse modnli and strengths for nnidirectional, continuous and discontinuous, fiber-reinforced composites and laminate composites. Describe the structure of soft and hard biologies that give rise to their unique mechanical properties. [Pg.381]

Use mechanical properties to help select appropriate candidate materials for a specific application. [Pg.381]
