Credit Hours: 3.0
Lecture Contact Hours: 3 Lab Contact Hours: 0

Prerequisite: MECE 3369 and MATH 3363 and consent of instructor.

A combined materials science and solid mechanics treatment of time-temperature-deformation and failure behavior of polymers and polymeric composites at both the molecular and continuum levels. Various approaches to quasi-static and steady state constitutive behavior are given including. the solution of boundary value problems.
