Aim:
- Describe the structure of a material from atomic to macroscopic scale.
- Discuss the mechanical properties of metallic and polymer materials based on their structure.
- Understand and explain the relationship between the structure of a material and its mechanical properties as well as discuss the possibilities to modify the structure with help of different processes to obtain desired properties.
- Describe the influence of temperature and aggressive environment on the use of material.
- Analyse and discuss selection of materials for energy processes based on the knowledge introduced in this course.
- Understand and analyse how material selection influences the energy consumption at different stages of o products life cycle.
