Department of Mechanics and Materials
The knowledge gained in primary materials course is further developed. In greater physical detail it explains dynamics of strcture defects, phase diagrams of binary systems and other concepts. Special processes of structure control are discussed. The gained knowledge is utilized on description of contemporary technologies of material production for key industrial applications.
Department of Mechanics and Materials
Systematic overview of main classes of materials used in technical design. In addition to main classes of materials, i. e. metals, ceramics, polymers and composites, attention is paid to biological materials and to biomimetics. Integral approach to material selection process is also demonstrated based on so called Ashby's selection charts.
Department of Mechanics and Materials
Basic course of materials science and engineering explains mechanical properties of structural materials based on their bonding forces and microstructure. However the main attention is paid to metals as the most important engineering materials, also other major classes of materials are presented, namely ceramics, polymers and composites. Attention is also paid to degradation processes in materials, to defectoscopy and to main mechanical tests.
