Course content
|
The course is divided into two parts. The first part is focused on the internal structure of basic types of construction materials and on the strengthening and relaxation mechanisms. the course explains the relation between structural and mechanical characteristics of materials. The second part focuses on the nature of degradation processes and limiting states of materials. Understanding of these processes in relation to the different nature of service exploatation allows qualified material selection or the solution of specific operational problems.

Learning outcomes
|
The course aims to introduce the fundamental physical principles governing the strength and plasticity of materials. It outlines the basic mechanisms underlying material degradation, emphasising limit states such as fatigue and brittle fracture. The limit states are defined based on the specific application and service load conditions.
Students will be able to assess the different degradation processes in particular operational conditions. He will get the skills to define suitable material analyses regarding the material response under defined conditions and to process the results such as analyses towards the solution of problems in the field of material engineering.
