Valid for year : 2005
 
TMKM08 Experimental Evaluation of Fatigue and Fracture Properties, 7,5 ECTS credits.
/Materialtekniska provningsmetoder/

For:   M   MI  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 36
Rec. self-study hours: 164

  Area of Education: Technlogy

Subject area: Mechanical Engineering

  Advancement level (A-D): D

Aim:
To give theoretical and practical knowledge of important testing methods characterising the structure and properties of materials and of non-destructive test methods to reveal cracks or other defects (NDT). They are methods of great industrial use, the importance of which are increasing in several cases. This is particularly true for the NDT. The methods are in most cases applicable to all classes of materials.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Engineering Materials Metals, Engineering Materials - Design, Solid Mechanics basic course, Introductory Physics.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The teaching consists of lectures, tutorials and laboratory work.

Course contents:
The following testing methods will be treated with an introductory lecture and subsequent laboratory work. In the laboratory work, the students will first hand in a proposal on how to carry out the work which will be reviewed by the supervisor before work starts. The aim with the laboratory work is that the student shall prove his ability to work independently. A report is to be written and reviewed. If possible, the different laboratory work should deal with the same engineering component. Possible testing methods will include: - Light microscopy (OM) - Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive analysis (EDS) - Computerised image analysis - Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) - Fatigue testing - X-ray diffraction (XRD) - Computerised X-ray tomography (CT) - Ultrasonic testing (US)
