1. Course Introduction
In the first year Materials lecture course, the behaviour of materials has been explained in
terms of their fundamental structure. The response of a given material to an externally applied
load can be rationalised to a large extent simply by consideration of the atomic structure of
that material. While this degree of understanding is often adequate for a physicist, who can
consider the intellectual problem solved, the engineer needs to be able to predict with a greater
accuracy how a given material will react to any given combination of imposed conditions.
Without this ability the engineer cannot begin to design any component in an economic
manner.
1
1.2 Engineering design
One of the major objectives of this course is to describe the mechanisms involved in each of
these failure modes, and to show how an engineer can design to avoid failures by these modes.
Without some understanding of the how materials fail and the methods used to predict this
failure it is not possible to design or analyse any engineering situation.
During this course, each failure mode is discussed in terms of the fundamental mechanisms
involved and the methods used to predict the likely onset of failure. Each topic is treated as a
separate entity although it should always be remembered that interactions can and do occur.
e.g. fatigue crack growth and stress corrosion crack growth is often cut short by fracture
fatigue cracks often grow from corrosion pits
fatigue and creep can occur simultaneously
localised overload can lead to the initiation of fatigue cracks
2. Syllabus
The topics listed below will be discussed (not necessarily in the order or relation in which they
are given here.)
2.1 Selection for Strength
Classes of materialsmetals, ceramics, polymers, composites (short revision of 1M topic)
leading into material selection. Uniaxial tensile behaviour, yield stress, proof stress, tensile
strength, upper and lower yield point, Luders bands, strain ageing, maximum load/necking
(revision/extension of 1M topic). Effect of temperature and strain rate on tensile properties.
Multi-axial stress states, concept of hydrostatic and deviatoric components of stress. Criteria of
yieldingvon Mises, Tresca. Concept of isotropic and kinematic work hardening and
Bauschinger effect. Concept of development of triaxial stresses (constraint) around notches.
Concept of designing against yield. Definition of stress concentration; plane stress and plane
strain.
2.2 Fatigue
High cycle fatigue. Nature of fatigue initiation (intrusions, extrusions, Stage I and Stage II
cracking). S-N approach to fatigue; equations for effect of mean stress, multiaxial stresses
(equivalent stress), stress concentration, cumulative damage and Miners equation. Use of
linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) in fatigue. Fatigue crack propagation method using
Paris equation for crack growth rate. Brief description of low cycle fatigue. Overall
philosophy of designing against fatigue failure.
2.3 Fracture
Concepts of ductile fracture. Description of brittle fracture by LEFM in terms of K; fracture
toughness Kc (KIC for Mode I plane strain). Relationship between stress intensity factor, K,
and energy release rate, G. Effect of specimen thickness on mode of fracture; flat (Mode I
fracture in plane-strain) and oblique fracture. Effects of temperature and strain rate on fracture
behaviour of BCC metals; mode of fracture on the micro scale by microvoid formation and
coalescence (ductile) or cleavage (brittle). The ductile to brittle transition. Thermo-mechanical
treatments for grain size control. Cracking in welds.
2.4 Creep
Uniaxial creep behaviour of metals and ceramics; concepts of primary, secondary, tertiary
2
creep (revision of 1M concepts). Relation of creep to composition and microstructure;
concept of diffusion, homologous temperature; equation for strain rate in secondary creep;
concept of creep rupture. Equation for stress, time and temperature dependence of creep in
metals and ceramics. Diagram for creep data in terms of stress, strain rate, temperature, time:
Larsson-Miller and Sherby-Dorn parameters. Use of nickel alloys in high temperature
applications.
2.4 Corrosion
Principles of dry oxidation and wet corrosion. Anodic-cathodic reactions. Rusting of iron and
the use of weathering steels. Inhibition by coating and alloying. Galvanic corrosion.
Sensitisation of stainless steels. Corrosion protection. Stress corrosion cracking.
3. Recommended Textbooks
The syllabus is not built around any particular book. To assist background reading and revision
of particular topics some specific references are given below. The depth of treatment varies
from topic to topic and reference to reference and in some cases the approach is different to
that given in the course. The references given cover all the topics listed to a sufficient or in
some cases to an excessive depth but for further background reading there are many specialist
books on fatigue, creep etc. which deal with each topic far more extensively than is required
for this course. Reference is made to the textbooks throughout the course notes. These
references are to give background and supplementary information to what is provided in the
notes and are not required reading.
Ashby and Jones: Engineering Materials 1 and 2. These are useful background reading for
the course and cover some aspects of the course at the right depth but
are short on detail for the fatigue and fracture methodologies and on
mechanistic detail for corrosion processes.
