Rotating Principal Stresses In A Materials Science CourseABSTRACTThis work constitutes a laboratory component of a junior level materials science course andillustrates the importance of rotating principal stresses in the design of components such as theautomotive crankshaft. The activity is centered on Mohr’s circle for biaxial stress situationsinvolving time varying normal and shear stresses. A number of dynamic situations have beenconsidered, namely. (a) sinusoidally varying normal and shear stresses that are in phase, (b)sinusoidally varying normal and shear stresses that are 90° out of phase, (c) constant normalstress and sinusoidally varying shear stress, and (d) sinusoidally varying normal stress andconstant

past the middle of the semester, there wasnot enough time to accomplish all three tasks, and none of the submitted designs met the full setof design criteria. If the project had been introduced early in the semester as a required part ofthe curriculum, the students earning an A or B for the course would have submitted designswhich would have been more likely to meet the criteria.Freshman design projects are necessarily a gamble; students are asked to design a structure ormachine before taking any mechanical design courses, so the results are often strong in conceptbut weak in technical soundness. Clearly, juniors or seniors would have developed betterdesigns. However, by exposing freshmen to a design problem early in their academic careers

Quiz 1 and 2 were designed to assess the knowledge ofscience and quiz 3 was designed to test the knowledge of engineering. Question 7 on the finalexamination was: “(a) Indicate the position of yield strength, tensile strength and fracturestrength using a typical engineering stress-strain curve.

We expect thatif this goal is met, then the deviation between average grade from instructor A and instructor Bshould be small. In Fall 2005, before the new program, there were six sections taught by 5instructors; the average grade was 84, with a standard deviation of 4.5. During Fall 2006, of thefour instructors and four sections using the new program, the average grade was 87, with astandard deviation of 2.6.If the reduced deviation holds in the future, then the rubric will bevalidated.The rubric allows for more uniformity in grading between instructors, and is consistent withholistic grading results.

What better way to break the monotony of informationtransfer than a good story. Papadimitriou has recognized three main ways of using storytelling inthe teaching of a technical subject: (a) providing historical/biographical context to a subject, (b)illustrating a concept by a story, and (c) embedding educational material into a story 3.

These misconceptions exist after learning the material formally in lecture, andcan be compared to Krause and Waters’ 2009 post-test results [2], which required students tosketch some of the same planar arrangements in crystal structures after receiving instruction onthe topic.Part 1 elucidated several misconceptions in students’ understanding of crystal structures.
