Materials and Processes

The course focuses on the linear and non-linear rheology of colloidal materials and materials processing and solidification mechanisms. The rheological sections of the course focus on the fundamentals of rheological properties, viscoelasticity, flow, and constitutive models. The materials processing sections focus on chemistry, physics, and mechanics principles governing the behavior of materials and particulate. The course objective is to teach a framework for quantitative analyses of materials' rheological responses and processes and help students understand materials' capabilities and limitations.
