This module presents materials physico-chemistry concepts underlying processing technologies (including dislocations and properties of thermoplastics) and presents key methodologies enabling manufacturing using metals (casting, forming, joining, cutting), ceramics (sintering) and polymers (molding, hot pressing, extrusion), undergoing deformation processes. Knowledge of elasticity and plasticity, polymer rheology and plastic/viscoplastic deformation is key to the manufacture of components for applications in all areas of engineering. The module will extend basic solid-mechanics concepts and methods to the modelling and analysis of these methodologies - linking the underlying theory to the real-world production and processing of these materials.
