Explores plasticity in single crystals, including mechanisms of plastic flow and strain hardening, with a focus on dislocation behavior and geometrically necessary dislocations.
Explores deformation and fatigue under cyclic stresses in materials, including plastic deformation, cyclic hardening, and the influence of environmental factors.
Discusses axial constraints and material deformations in structural engineering, focusing on stress, strain, and the behavior of materials under various loading conditions.
Introduces the ME-104 course on structural mechanics, covering objectives, logistics, and key concepts in understanding static forces and structural analysis.
