Section Title:
Rubbery Polymer Micromech
Section Info:
Advanced analysis of rubbery and gel materials with an emphasis on relating microstructural architecture to the mechanics of material behavior: non-linear elasticity, viscoelasticity, damage accumulation, fatigue, and fracture. Effects of fillers, covalent vs. physical bonding, and branching on mechanical response will be discussed as well as current topics in materials research (such as liquid crystal elastomers and electroactive polymers). Analysis will be performed at all relevant length scales, from the molecular to the macroscopic. Pre-requisites: TAM 551 (Solid Mechanics I) or equivalent, CEE 300 or ME 330 or TAM 324 (Materials) or ME 430 (Failure of Engineering Materials), graduate standing.
