How Do Deformation Mechanism Maps Connect Mechanics and Materials Science?

Click For Summary
Deformation mechanism maps serve as a crucial link between mechanics and materials science, illustrating how different materials respond to stress and strain. These maps provide insights into the plasticity and creep behaviors of metals and ceramics, aiding in material selection and application. The discussion references an MIT Open Course that covers the mechanics of materials, emphasizing its general nature while highlighting the specialized focus on deformation mechanisms. Understanding these maps is essential for engineers and scientists to predict material performance under various conditions. Overall, deformation mechanism maps are vital for advancing knowledge in both mechanics and materials science.

This material forms a bridge between mechanics and materials science.

MIT Open Course - http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Materials-Science-and-Engineering/3-11Mechanics-of-MaterialsFall1999/Modules/index.htm

This is a fairly general course.

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
