Course Objectives
The aim of BMM 205 course is to learn about the basic principles of materials and to transfer this knowledge to the analysis and solution of current engineering problems. This course aims to provide information about fundamental topics such as atomic structure, interatomic bonds, crystal structures of solids, defects in solids (point, line and plane), diffusion and diffusion mechanisms, mechanical properties of metals, dislocations and strength-increasing mechanisms, ductile and brittle fracture, fatigue, creep and phase diagrams and transformations.
Course Outcomes
1. General knowledge about materials science and material application areas;
2. Establishing a connection between material properties and crystal structure, microstructure and production methods
3. Establishing a relationship between physical and mechanical properties of materials and atomic bonds and crystal structures;
4. Basic knowledge about diffusion in materials;
5. Knowledge about material phases and phase transformations;
6. General knowledge about electronic properties of materials.
