Learning Outcomes: At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
Pre-requisites:
Audience:
Course Material:
Course Includes: Continental breakfast, lunch, and breaks on both days and text book, Fundamentals of Inorganic Glasses, 2nd Edition by Arun K. Varshneya.
Sintering of Ceramics Instructor: Mohamed N. Rahaman, Missouri University of Science and Technology Location: The American Ceramic Society headquarters office
Description: The course will follow the key topics the text book, Sintering of Ceramics, by M. N. Rahaman, CRC Press and will be supplemented by detailed ‘case studies’ of the sintering of specific ceramics and systems.
This two-day course covers following topics:
Learning Outcomes:
Prerequisites: Basic physics, chemistry, and mathematics commonly knowledge taught in undergraduate engineering and science curricula.
Audience:
Course Materials:
Course Includes: Continental breakfast, lunch, and breaks on both days, and text book, Sintering of Ceramics, by M. N. Rahaman, CRC Press, along with CD-ROM containing course notes.
Dynamic Behavior of Structural and Armor Ceramics Instructors: Ghatu Subhash, University of Florida
This two-day course covers the following topics:
Learning Outcomes: The course will provide a broad background to participants by exposing them to the latest developments in experimental, analytical and numerical modeling of dynamic response of ceramics. The student will gain a better appreciation for the subject and be able to utilize this knowledge to better analyze the structural response for dynamic applications. The knowledge can also assist in microstructural design of ceramics.
Prerequisites: None are required. Basic background at undergraduate level of Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science or Ceramic Engineering is sufficient.
Audience: Early career engineers, scientists and contractors who work in ceramic industry and engaged in processing, mechanical analysis, microstructural characterization, and design of impact resistance structural ceramic components.
Course Materials: Basic information packet will be provided. An extensive list of references pertinent to the subject area will be distributed. A video demonstration of split Hopkinson pressure bar experiment and wave propagation principles will be provided. Course Includes: Continental breakfast, lunch, and breaks on both days and course notes.
Introduction to Ceramic Phase Diagrams Instructors: Matthew Hall, Alfred University
This two-day course covers the following topics:
• Cooling pathways in ternary phase diagrams • Isoplethal analysis in ternary phase diagrams • Potential limitations of phase diagrams
Learning Outcomes: A student who has completed the proposed short course should have a basic understanding of the following concepts: • Basic vocabulary associated with phase diagrams • How to operate within the basic framework of binary and ternary phase diagrams • How to conduct isoplethal analyses within binary and ternary phase diagrams
Prerequisites: No prior knowledge is required to understand the basic aspects of analyzing and interpreting phase diagrams. Some prior knowledge of ceramic materials and processing may be helpful (but not essential) to appreciating the case studies that will be presented at the end of the short course.
Audience: (1) Individuals with a background in materials science who are in need of a refresher course on phase diagrams and
(2) Individuals from a non-materials engineering discipline (e.g., mechanical, chemical, electrical, etc.) who are now working in the ceramics industry will benefit from this course.
Course Materials: Information packets containing lecture slides, example problems and case studies will be provided. Students will also be provided with a copy of Introduction to Phase Equilibria in Ceramics by C.G. Bergeron and S. H. Risbud, to serve as a supplemental source of information after the course. Course Includes: Continental breakfast, lunch, and breaks on both days and course notes.
