Siva Prasad AVS Faculty Room No. 4, Admin Block.: Avs@iiitdm - Ac.in

This document provides an introduction and overview of the Materials Science and Engineering course to be taught by Siva Prasad AVS. The course will focus on understanding the relationship between the structure and properties of materials and how their processing affects these relationships. Key topics to be covered include crystal structures, defects, mechanical properties, phase transformations, and the structures and properties of metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. Student evaluation will consist of two quizzes, a final exam, and class assignments. The goal is for students to gain an understanding of both fundamental and applied aspects of materials science across different material classes.

Introduction

Siva Prasad AVS


[email protected]
Faculty Room No. 4, Admin Block.
What do you expect?

• A subject that is confluence of fundamental and applied sciences.

• Engineer: (v) skilfully arrange for (something) to occur

• Focus is on materials in solid state.

• Historic periods are named after materials – Stone Age; Bronze Age; Iron Age

• Today’s advanced technologies and applications are largely attributed to Progress in Materials Science.

• Materials of structural, functional (electrical, magnetic, optical) and multi–functional (involving two or more
physical phenomena) are of equal interest today.

What do you expect?
• Structure → Property → Processing relationships.

• Structure refers to microscopic arrangement of atoms or molecules or ions. Should NOT be confused with
electronic configuration etc.

• Electronic configuration, and hence, chemical bonding also matters. But will not be covered at length. We will
only invoke the relevant principles.

• Classification of materials from applications perspective:

 Metals

 Ceramics

 Polymers

 Composites
