1: Analysis of Deformation Processes
This TLP builds upon the introduction to yield criteria covered in the Stress analysis and Mohr's circle TLP and introduces a range of methods commonly used to study metal forming processes.1.1: Introduction to Analysis of Deformation Processes 1.2: Lévy-Mises Equations 1.3: Slip Line Field Theory 1.4: Work Formula Method 1.5: Limit Analysis 1.6: Finite Element Method 1.7: Hencky Relations 1.8: Deeper Questions
2: Introduction to Anisotropy
It is common in basic analysis to treat bulk materials as isotropic – their properties are independent of the direction in which they are measured. However the atomic scale structure can result in properties that vary with direction. This teaching and learning package (TLP) looks into typical examples of such anisotropy and gives a brief mathematical look into modelling the behaviour.2.1: Introduction 2.2: Mechanical analogy of anisotropic response 2.3: Anisotropic Thermal Conductivity 2.4: Derivation of the anisotropy ellipsoid 2.5: Anisotropic electrical conductivity 2.6: Anisotropic Diffusion 2.7: Anisotropic dielectric permittivity 2.8: Optical anisotropy and the optical indicatrix 2.9: Liquid crystals 2.10: Summary 2.11: Questions
3: Atomic Force Microscopy

4: Atomic Scale Structure of Materials
This teaching and learning package provides an introduction to crystalline, polycrystalline and amorphous solids, and how the atomic-level structure has radical consequences for some of the properties of the material. It introduces the use of polarised light to examine the optical properties of materials, and shows how a variety of simple models can be used to visualise important features of the microstructure of materials.4.1: Introduction 4.2: Single crystals- Shape and anisotropy 4.3: Single crystals- Mechanical properties 4.4: Single crystals- Optical properties 4.5: Polycrystals 4.6: Defects 4.7: Summary 4.8: Questions
5: Avoidance of Crystallization in Biological Systems
This teaching and learning package discusses the two main environmental threats leading to crystallization in plants and animals, and the ways in which organisms have adapted to avoid this crystallization. As part of this discussion, there is coverage of some of the theory of nucleation and crystallization.5.1: Introduction 5.2: Nucleation and crystallization 5.3: The water-sucrose system 5.4: Avoidance of crystallization by glass formation 5.5: Avoidance of crystallization by freeze resistance 5.6: Summary 5.7: Questions
