1 graduate course MICROMECHANICS 2 4 November November 2004 Materials Technology Department of Mechanical Engineering Eindhoven University of Technology

2 General This course is an initiative of the Dutch graduate school Engineering Mechanics with the support of the Belgian GrasMech graduate school. Research groups from different universities (TU/e, RuG, ETH, UCL, QMUL) are actively contributing to this course, whereas Philips has accepted to illustrate micromechanical aspects from an industrial perspective. The course is part of the Engineering Mechanics national four years training programme for research students. As part of this programme a series of graduate courses is organized, related to the following research themes: Computational Mechanics, Mechanics of Materials, Structural Dynamics and Control, Structural Mechanics. Objective The engineering response of materials and small scale structures essentially results from the physics and mechanics of their underlying microstructure. Elastic, inelastic and fracture properties are strongly governed by small scale processes, involving different spatial and temporal scales. At the micromechanical level, multiphase structures, voids, grains, interfaces and second-phase particles play an intrinsic role. On top of that, deformation mechanisms may alter upon miniaturization and boundary conditions start to play a dominant role. Micromechanics allows to investigate the intrinsic evolving structureproperty relations of engineering materials on the one hand, and predict the complex mechanical behaviour of micro-systems on the other hand. The objective of the graduate course on micromechanics is to provide a selective introduction into this wide interdisciplinary field of science. The course attempts to cover a variety of aspects in this field, where particular aspects in metals, polymers, composites, concrete, etc. will be addressed. Analytical and computational frameworks are presented and generic experimental techniques used in micromechanics are illustrated. Various microstructural approaches will be highlighted, emphasizing size effects, statistical effects, fracture, boundary effects, etc. along with their impact on the response of engineering materials and/or micro-systems. Local organization The course is organized by the Materials Technology group of the Mechanical Engineering Department of the TU/e.
