This learning path equips undergraduate engineering students with the knowledge to evaluate materials for modern automotive applications, balancing performance, weight, safety, and cost. It covers fundamental mechanical properties, corrosion behavior, and the key material classes used in vehicles, culminating in a systematic selection framework.
This learning path guides undergraduate engineering students through the fundamental principles and practical skills needed to identify and evaluate materials used in aircraft and spacecraft. Starting with core materials science concepts and mechanical properties, the path progresses through key aerospace material classes—aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, superalloys, composites, and thermal barrier coatings—and concludes with lightweight design principles for aerospace applications.
A comprehensive graduate-level path to learn how to perform and analyze molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of materials. It covers the theoretical foundations, practical implementation, and advanced analysis techniques needed to model material behavior at the atomic scale.
A systematic graduate-level path to apply DFT principles and software for studying material properties. It covers the theoretical foundations (Hohenberg-Kohn and Kohn-Sham), practical approximations (exchange-correlation, pseudopotentials), and band structure analysis, with necessary prerequisites in quantum mechanics and solid-state physics.
This learning path provides a rigorous, graduate-level treatment of the thermodynamics governing surfaces and interfaces in materials. It builds from classical thermodynamics and statistical mechanics to advanced concepts such as grain boundary energy, wetting, segregation, adsorption, and surface diffusion, with a focus on deriving and applying fundamental equations.
This graduate-level path equips learners with the theoretical and practical tools to apply fracture mechanics for predicting material failure. It progresses from fundamental elasticity and stress analysis to advanced concepts like the J-integral and R-curves, covering both linear-elastic and elastic-plastic regimes. The path emphasizes the connection between crack-tip parameters and material fracture toughness, culminating in the ability to assess structural integrity and predict failure.
This learning path provides a rigorous, graduate-level foundation in dislocation theory, emphasizing the elastic fields of dislocations, forces acting on them, and their interactions.
