New course announcement for Spring 2025!

MEEN689: Dynamic Behavior of Materials

Instructor: Dr. Marcia Cooper
Delivery: In-person and Distance Learning options

This course will introduce students to fundamental and advanced topics of dynamic behavior of materials under in-service conditions of impact, shock, stress, and high-strain-rate deformations.  Mechanics of high-strain-rate deformation; elastic and plastic stress wave propagation in solids; shock; detonation waves.  Dynamic response of materials including shear instabilities; dynamic fracture; constitutive models.  Taught by a former Sandia National Laboratories scientist with 17 years of experimental research experience enabling theoretical background to be augmented with special topics on high-rate experimental methods.
