Materials Science and Engineering Exercises with the Ansys Granta EduPack Software
There are relationships between material properties, some easily explained, others so complex that they are not yet fully understood. Exploring relationships between material properties brings a deeper understanding of the physics that underlies the properties themselves. And it brings a "feel" for material property-values, valuable to engineers and designers, giving them a sense of when material property-values should be questioned and an ability to estimate property-values when no direct measurements are available. The exercises utilize the Materials Science & Engineering (MS&E) database from Ansys Granta EduPack™, a teaching software for materials education, to guide discovery, provoke thinking and stimulate self-learning on these topics. The exercises are in 4 groups, each group centered on one of the top-level data-tables in the database.
Learning Outcomes
- Understanding what is available in the MS&E database
- Ability to plot property trajectories as a function of processing
- Appreciation of the Processing, Structure, and Properties relationship
