Aim:
This course aims at presenting students fundamentals in the field of materials science and engineering with emphasis on explaining the relationship between the structure of a material, its mechanical properties and its manufacturing process. Upon successful completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
- Describe and explain the structure of a material from atomic to macroscopic scale.
- Discuss the mechanical properties of polymers and metallic material based on their structure.
- 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.
- Determine and explain the microstructure obtained after phase transformation under equilibrium as well as non-equilibrium condition.
- Describe the influence of temperature and aggressive environment on the use of material.
- Analyze and discuss selection of materials for structure based on the knowledge introduced in this course.
