1. Why do pans have non-metal handles?
2. Why is a space shuttle covered in ceramic tiles?
3. Why is cement better in compression and string better in tension?
Materials
1. Types of Materials
2. Atomic Structure
3. Bonding/Material Structure
4. Bulk Material Properties
5. Material Testing
Solids
1. Crystals/Metals (Fe, Cu, Al, quartz)Atoms and molecules are systematically arranged during solidification
2. Glasses and Ceramics (sand, brick, window glass)
High viscosity during solidification prevents crystallization
3. Polymers (rubber, plastics, DNA, proteins) Long chains of simple molecular structures.
4. Composites (plywood, cement and rebar)Use of two or more materials to
obtain desired engineering properties
Atomic Structure
1. What does an atom look like and what are its components?
2. How big are the electrons shells compared to the nucleus?
Atomic Structure1) Composition:
A) Nucleus: protons(+) and neutrons(o)B) Electrons(-)
2) ~10-10m across = 0.0000000001m
3) Neutral charge#electrons = #protons
4) Electrons orbit around the nucleus
5) Reactivity with other atoms depends on # of electrons in outermost shell
6) Electrons in outermost shell are called “valence” electrons
Bonding
Primary BondingIonic: transfer of electrons between metal and non-metal ion (NaCl and ceramics)
Covalent: localized sharing of electrons (ceramics, diamond, glass, wood)
Metallic: delocalized sharing of electrons (metals)
Secondary BondingVan der Waals: weak forces that attract neutral molecules to another other in gasesHydrogen Bonding: attractive force between molecules arising from the interaction between hydrogen atom and N, O, or F

Bonding
1. Why are metals ductile and ionic solid (ceramics) brittle?
2. How does a material react to pushing or pulling?
3. How do atoms react to pushing or pulling?
Stress and strain Hooke’s law
Springs, paper clip, silly putty
Plastic deformation
Necking
Material Properties
Stress-Strain Curve
What would the stress-strain curve look like for a ceramic material?
What about for polymer?
How would temperature affect the polymer?
Materials TestingCompressive Strength: The maximum compressive
stress a material can withstand without failure
Crushing or buckling failure
Failure depends on the material’s geometry and support
Euler buckling load
Testing spaghetti
Materials Testing
Fracture Strength: Bending Test
What’s going on in the center of the material? Lab: Measure deflection of spaghetti under a given
load.
Tensile Strength Test Lab: Measure fracture strength of sample under
tension
Charpy V-notch Test
Toughness: resistance to fracture of a material when stressed (defined as area under stress-strain curve)
Amount of energy absorbed in fracture
Classifies material as either brittle or ductile Brittle: absorbs small amount of energy Ductile: absorbs large amount of energy
