Teaching Method

Outline:

Polymeric materials are widely used in from daily life to advanced technology. Rheology, the mechanical study of the flow of liquid and soft solid materials, is essential for understanding functionality of their materials. In first part of the lecture, you learn about mechanical behavior of viscoelastic materials and relationship between rheology and functionality of polymeric materials. In latter part of the lecture, you read technical papers related to rheology of polymeric materials by seminar-style lecture to understand actual application of rheology and to build up your reading skill for technical papers.
The lecturer teaches about rheology of soft-materials based on his practical experience in Aeromedical Laboratory, JASDF.

Style:

Lecture and seminar on related papers.

Notice:

Review related subjects previously learned by yourself. Don't hesitate to ask questions about lecture. Lecture schedule may be changed when your understanding does't match it.
