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 and industrial use of materials. Upon successful completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
- Explain and discuss the mechanical properties of metallic and polymer material based on their structure.
- Explain how the mechanical properties of a metallic material can be modified with the help of different manufacturing processes which induce changes in the material�?Ts structure.
- Describe the influence of temperature and aggressive environment on the use of material.
- Describe the typical properties of the material groups included in the course and their application areas.
- Analyze and discuss selection of materials for structure based on the knowledge introduced in this course.
