Synopsis of Course Contents Mechanical properties and their dependence on microstructures are exam-
ined for a wide range of materials, including metals, polymers and ceram-
ics. Continuum deformation concepts, basic elastic, viscoelastic and plas-
tic constitutive behaviours are developed and related to their microstruc-
tures. Yield criteria for ductile and brittle materials are introduced.
