Structural Materials

Materials subjected to static, thermal, dynamic (impact) and cyclic loads are classified as structural materials. These load-bearing materials are crucial to almost all fields of engineering as well as to other disciplines such as architecture, industrial design, chemistry and physics. In that Structural Materials minor program comprises fundamentals of structure-property relationships and basic understanding of four major classes of materials (i.e. metals, ceramics, polymers and composites) for structural applications. Structural Materials minor program aims to provide an introduction to field of materials science by building a notion of materials structure and property relationship. The prospective students for this program will get the chance of acquainting themselves top-notch experimental and theoretical aspects of engineering materials.
