A student, who passed the course satisfactorily will be able to
- Identify the types of bonding and microstructure of solid materials
- Identify the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of materials together with the appropriate units
- Determine the elastic constants of materials
- Examine the isotropic and anisotropic behaviour of materials.
- Distinguish among the various rheological models to understand the viscoelastic material behaviour
- Differentiate between the elastic, plastic and viscoelastic material behaviour
- Process the experimental data, report the findings in a systematic and presentable format
