ME 5327 - Dynamic Behavior of Materials


Credits: 3

Introduces the fundamental theories of stress wave propagation both within the bulk materials and at the interfaces. Students are exposed to a variety of Kolsky bar-related experimental characterization techniques based on stress wave theories. In addition to in-class lectures, lab sessions are arranged to demonstrate the state-of-the-art Kolsky bar techniques for testing the high-rate mechanical properties of a broad range of engineering materials. Students are also introduced to synchronized high-speed imaging designed to visualize transient events in the order of tens of microseconds. Prerequisite: ME 3340 .
