Overview
The course deals with deformation and failure mechanisms, toughness and high temperature properties in engineering materials. It also deals with basic fracture mechanics and fatigue theory including crack growth. Course emphasis is on metallic materials but polymers and composites are also treated. The course includes practical laboratory sessions where students work with metallographic test preparation, light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive Xray analysis, micro and macro hardness testing and impact testing. Students learn about modern methods for materials investigation and some skills in materials engineering laboratory work on a failure case and solve a material technical problem. Theoretical components with literature studies and calculations are also included. Instruction is in the form of lectures, exercises, and laboratory sessions. Based on a real failure case, students solve a materials problem involving theory and laboratory work.
