AMME1362 Materials I – 4-Page Final Exam Cheat Sheet (92 mid-semester; Distinction (84) overall)

Description

Prepared by a student who achieved 92 on the mid-semester and a Distinction (84) overall, the cheat sheet is intended for students preparing for the final exam who prefer a logical, concise engineering-style summary over lecture slides. This sheet was formatted in line with the AMME1362 final exam requirements and was used as my permitted cheat sheet during the final exam. Includes: - Engineering vs true stress–strain relationships - Fracture mechanics & stress concentration factors - Fatigue loading parameters (mean stress, amplitude, stress ratio) - Composite material behaviour (isostrain / isostress conditions) - Strengthening mechanisms (Hall–Petch, cold work, precipitation hardening) - Slip systems, CRSS & Schmid factor - Crystal structures (SC, BCC, FCC, HCP), APF & coordination number - Miller indices, planar & linear density - Atomic bonding & relation to material properties - Polymer behaviour (thermoplastic vs thermosetting) - Corrosion mechanisms & prevention methods Key equations and concept relationships compiled for quick recall. Designed to: - Consolidate examinable course content into a 2 double-sided page summary - Reduce time spent compiling formulas and mechanisms yourself - Support conceptual understanding alongside numerical problem solving - Enable efficient revision during STUVAC Ideal for AMME1362 students preparing for the final exam who prefer a logical, engineering-style summary over lecture slides.
