Teaching materials to engineering students
Engineers make things. They make them out of materials, using processes.
The starting point
The CES EduPack provides the resources to achieve this and gives students a tool they can use in their later profession (like CAD or FE tools)
What do they need to know to do this successfully?
• A perspective of the world of materials and processes
An ability to select those that best meet requirements of a design
Access to information and tools for comparison and selection
An understanding material properties and their origins

Unstructured information for ABS*
What is it? ABS (Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene ) is tough, resilient, and easily molded. It is usually opaque, although some grades can now be transparent, and it can be given vivid colors. ABS-PVC alloys are tougher than standard ABS and, in self-extinguishing
grades, are used for the casings of power tools. Design guidelines. ABS has the highest impact resistance of all polymers. It takes color well. Integral metallics are possible (as in GE Plastics' Magix.) ABS is UV resistant for outdoor application if stabilizers are added. It is hygroscopic (may need to be oven dried before thermoforming) and can be damaged by petroleum-based machining oils.
ABS can be extruded, compression moulded or formed to sheet that is then vacuum thermo-formed. It can be joined by ultrasonic or hot-plate welding, or bonded with polyester, epoxy, isocyanate or nitrile-phenolic adhesives.
Technical notes. ABS is a terpolymer - one made by copolymerising 3 monomers: acrylonitrile, butadiene and syrene. The acrylonitrile gives thermal and chemical resistance, rubber-like butadiene gives ductility and strength, the styrene gives a glossy surface, ease of machining and a lower cost. In ASA, the butadiene component (which gives poor UV resistance) is replaced by an acrylic ester. Without the addition of butyl, ABS becomes, SAN - a similar material with lower impact resistance or toughness. It is the stiffest of the thermoplastics and has excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, salts and many solvents.
Typical Uses. Safety helmets; camper tops; automotive instrument panels and other interior components; pipe fittings; home-security devices and housings for small appliances; communications equipment; business machines; plumbing hardware; automobile grilles; wheel covers; mirror housings; refrigerator liners; luggage shells; tote trays; mower shrouds; boat hulls; large components for recreational vehicles; weather seals; glass beading; refrigerator breaker strips; conduit; pipe for drain-waste-vent (DWV) systems.
The environment. The acrylonitrile monomer is nasty stuff, almost as poisonous as cyanide. Once polymerized with styrene it
becomes harmless. ABS is FDA compliant, can be recycled, and can be incinerated to recover the energy it contains. *Using the CES Level 2 DB

Polymethyl methacrylate (Acrylic, PMMA) The material When you think of PMMA, think transparency. Acrylic, or PMMA, is the thermoplastic that most closely resembles glass in transparency and resistance to weathering. The material has a long history: discovered in 1872, first commercialized in 1933, its first major application was as cockpit canopies for fighter aircraft during the second World War.

Description. The high-strength aluminum alloys rely on age-hardening: a sequence of heat treatment steps that causes the precipitation of a nano-scale dispersion of intermetallics that impede dislocation motion and impart strength.
Age-hardening wrought Al-alloys
Definitions and measurement. Figure 1 shows a typical tensile stress-strain curve. The initial part is linear (Hooke’s law), and it is elastic, meaning that the strain is recoverable – the material returns to its original shape when the stress is removed. Stresses above the elastic limit cause permanent deformation or fracture ………
The origins of moduli. Atoms bond together, some weakly, some strongly. If they bind strongly enough they form solids; the stronger the bond, the higher is the melting point of the solid. Think of the bonds as little springs (Figure 3). The atoms have an equilibrium spacing ; a force pulls them apart a little, to , but when it is released they jump back to their original spacing. . ……….
Young’s modulus
Measurement of Young’s modulus
Origins of the modulus
Definitions and measurement. Material subjected to repeated stress cycles may fail even when the peak stress is well below the tensile strength, or even below that for yield. Fatigue data are measured and presented as curves, where is the range over which the stress varies and Nf
is the number of cycles to failure………
How do fatigue cracks propagate? Holes, change of section, cracks, and surface scratches concentrate stress so that, even when the sample as a whole remains elastic (the “high-cycle” regime), local plasticity occurs. The damage this creates accumulates, finally developing into a tiny crack. The crack propagates in the way shown on the left of Figure 2. ……….

1.9 How is Fracture toughness measured?
Figure 1. Measuring fracture toughness,1C.
Answer: Definition and measurement. The fracture toughness, , (units: MPa m1/2 or MN/m1/2) measures the resistance of a material to the propagation of a crack. It is measured by loading a sample containing a deliberately-introduced contained crack of length or a surface crack of length (Figure 1 ), recording the tensile stress or the bending load at which the crack suddenly propagates.
1.10 What does Dielectric breakdown mean?
Answer: Definition and measurement. The breakdown potential gradient or dielectric strength (units: MV/m) is the electrical potential gradient at which an insulator breaks down and a damaging surge of current like a lightning strike flows through it.
Figure 2. Breakdown involves a cascade of electrons like a lightening strike.
