    Download Material Science Lecture Notes

    In my list below are the lecture notes for materials science.  Unfortunately it is not a complete list as I can't find some of my files.  I'm hoping I would find the missing files soon as I dread having to do it all over again!  If that be the case it might take some time to get the missing notes online.

    To download click on the individual titles below and remember to make copies for the lectures.

    1. Introduction

    2. Atomic Structures and Bonding Part 1

    3. Atomic Structures and Bonding Part 2

    4. Atomic Structures and Bonding Tutorial

    5. Crystalline Structure

    6. Defects in Solids

    7. Diffusion

    8. Mechanical Properties

    9. Material Failure

    10. Phase Diagrams

    11. Engineering Alloys

    12. Polymers
