These books will be on reserve in the Engineering library and you will need
to periodically consult them to supplement the lecture notes and to find support material for your
project.
Homework: assigned each Thursday and
due the following Thursday in the beginning of the class. We
will not accept late homework. You are allowed, even encouraged,
to work on the homework in small groups, but you must write up your own homework
to hand in.
Grading: Homework 50% and Project 50%.
Prerequisites: Previous knowledge of Mechanics of Materials, Heat Transfer,
Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics will be useful in appreciating the course material. Students
will be allowed to concentrate on the Deformation or Solidification related topics of the course depending
on their interests and background.

Course description
This graduate course covers only a few selective topics
in deformation and solidification processing. Even though no attempt will be made to cover all
aspects of such processes, each student will be allowed as part of the course project
to work in depth in
a particular area of material processing that is mutually agreeable. Some of the topics to
be covered include:
Basic principles governing the inelastic behavior of solids. Work hardening, strain rate and temperature
dependence of material response. Multiaxial plasticity and creep. State variable approach to constitutive modeling.
Slab-analysis models and bound theorems for problems of forging, extrusion,
and rolling. Ideal forming techniques. Analysis of sheet-metal forming including
limit diagrams and springback. Defect initiation during forming processes.
Multi-stage deformation process design.
Directional solidification processes. Morphological instability
of a solid/liquid interface, solidification microstructures,
solute redistribution, micro- and macro-segregation.
Thermomechanical defects in casting processes. Eutectic microstructures. Melt flow effects
on solidification microstructures. Continuum mushy-zone models. Phase field methods.

Course objectives:
- to review the mechanical properties of materials and their effect on materials processes
- to expose students to basic deformation processing techniques for controlling shape
and properties in the final product
- to review the fundamentals of solidification and the various forms of solidification microstructures
- to review directional solidification processes and analytical techniques for their analysis
- to provide a review of various physical mechanisms (diffusion, melt flow, etc.) and their effects
on the solidification microstructures
- to provide modern methods for the design and control of solidification and crystal growth processes
- to give students the background required to pursue further graduate studies in
deformation/solidification processing and related materials processes
Intended audience: Graduate
Students in Mechanical
and Aerospace Engineering, Masters of Engineering students and MAE/MSE seniors (with permission of instructor).
