27-551 Properties of Ceramics and Glasses Units: 9.0 Department: Materials Science and Eng. Cross-listed: 27-751 Related URLs: http://neon.mems.cmu.edu/Home_Page.html This course focuses on the diverse properties of ceramics and glasses. It includes discussions of thermal properties, such as heat capacity and thermal expansion; mechanical properties of ceramics and glasses, such as strength, toughness and environmental effects; electrical properties including electronic and ionic conductivity, dielectric properties, piezoelectricity, and ferroelectricity; and optical properties as they pertain to glasses. The course also includes a discussion of selected current applications, such as recent trends in ceramic multi-layer packaging for electronics, advanced structural ceramics for automotive engines, and ceramic ferrites in phased-array radar systems. Numerous examples are used throughout the course to illustrate the engineering relevance of fundamental phenomena. This class will be co-taught with 27-751. Undergraduates taking the course will have separate homeworks and exams from the graduate students and will graded separately from the graduate students.
