MSE627A: Creep And High Temperature Deformation Of Materials

Course Description

The objective of the course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the creep and high-temperature deformation of materials. The course intends to meet the needs of researchers and scholars in the general area of creep and high-temperature plasticity by covering their fundamental concepts and engineering applications. Apart from emphasizing the structure-property correlation, the course also provides exposure to state-of-the-art knowledge, advanced techniques, modeling, and newer creep-resistant materials. The selected case studies discussed in the course will help apply the scientific understanding to the application part. The course will also include some laboratory demonstrations of the phenomena discussed in class together with an appropriate analysis of the data.
