Course Objectives:

As an instructor, my objective is to provide students with their first in-depth exposure to high temperature materials, with a primary focus on ceramics and ceramics matrix composites. This course covers the fundamentals of mechanics and microstructure of structural materials for different high-temperature applications. The main emphasis during this course will be ceramic based materials. In addition, other high temperature materials like superalloys, Carbon, and their composites will be also covered. During this course, fundamental topics like bonding, structure, defects, sintering and grain growth, oxidation, and phase equilibria will be covered in detail. In addition, students will also get exposure to the mechanisms of time-dependent deformation, failure mechanism at high temperature, and thermal properties.  Finally, different materials used at high temperature (metals, ceramics and their composites) will be reviewed.

The successful completion of this course will prepare students for interdisciplinary problem solving and development of high temperature materials from both industrial and research context.
