Since prehistoric times, humans understood that materials and systems change with temperature, and began to utilize that information for beneficial purposes. Annealing to restore ductility was known in 5000 BC. In 3200 BC, metal was melted to make castings in Mesopotamia. Differential hardening techniques for sword manufacture was developed in China and Japan near the beginning of the Common Era. Early steam engines are known from this time period as well.
Temperature can affect both materials and designs, sometimes in unforeseen ways. The Liberty Ship failures were a classic illustration of brittle fracture caused by low temperatures. Thermal conditions can cause a myriad of other problems, including thermal fatigue, creep, and increased corrosion rates.
This course presents how temperature can adversely affect materials and design, along with ways to mitigate these issues. Several case studies including the S.S. Schenectady, the Hasselt Bridge, and the Space Shuttel Challenger will be used to illustrate the concepts. This course is a recording of a live webinar.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain how temperature affects various material properties
- Describe the ductile-to-brittle transition
- Calculate thermal shock parameters for different materials
- Determine thermal stresses
- Explain creep mechanisms and associated calculation methods
- Describe environmental influences at elevated temperatures
- Identify design practices for handling variable and extreme temperatures
- Analyze case studies of failures associated with thermal effects
