MSc in Mechanical Engineering - Mechanics of Materials in Atlanta United States | Georgia Institute of Technology

The Woodruff School offers a rigorous graduate program designed for students with engineering, mechanics, mathematics, or science backgrounds, culminating in a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering. While most courses are elective, each study plan must satisfy the School's standards for breadth, depth, and academic rigor.

The Mechanics of Materials Research Group faculty lead cutting-edge research and teach courses exploring the intersection of materials science and mechanics. Their work emphasizes integrating material structure-property relationships into engineering analysis frameworks, utilizing experimental techniques, computational micromechanics, and theoretical advancements.

Research spans multiple scales, from nanoscopic to macroscopic, covering diverse areas including: nanowire and grain boundary simulations using molecular dynamics; bridging atomistic and continuum modeling approaches; crystal defect mechanics; multiscale modeling of material strength from nanocrystalline to structural alloys; interfacial fracture mechanics; damage evolution in monolithic and composite materials; multiscale constitutive modeling for deformation and fracture; high-temperature material degradation; polymer structure-property relationships; fuel cell durability modeling; metal forming processes; cellular material mechanics; materials design systems; and smart material behavior including ferroelectrics and shape memory alloys.
