Course Content
This course aims to develop your ability to think and function in an integrated manner across the areas of materials engineering and mechanical engineering (structural integrity).
Through core taught modules (there are no optional modules on this course), you will develop the following:
* Knowledge and understanding of continuum mechanics;
* Understanding of the relationships between the mechanical properties of materials, their microstructure and their processing history;
* The ability to communicate ideas effectively in written reports, verbally and by means of presentations to groups;
* Ability to exercise original thought;
* Ability to plan and undertake an individual project;
* Ability to understand and apply the theory, method and practice of materials manufacture in a wide range of industries;
* Interpersonal, communication and professional skills.
Core modules currently offered on this course are listed below:
* Advanced surface engineering and characterisation
* Materials models and modes of failure
* Finite element analysis
* Advanced materials
* Information technology for engineering
* Materials under stress
* Materials in service
* Advanced materials characterisation
* Aerospace materials
* Advanced joining technology
* Stress analysis techniques
Please note that all module details are subject to change.
Once you have completed the taught components of the course, you will undertake a major individual research-based project, often linked with an industrial company.
Examples of such projects have examined failure of spot welds in high strength automotive steels and failure of wear resistant coatings in aeroengine applications.
Course Structure
The MSc in Engineering Materials Failure and Analysis can be taken on a full-time basis over 1 year (September to September) or part-time over 2 years.
During the autumn and spring semesters, you will complete the taught components (worth 120 credits) of the course before undertaking a 60-credit research project over the summer period.
