Department of Mechanics and Materials
The course is focused on theoretical background and practical experience in the field of reliability of constructions, implementation of diagnostic procedures for the detection of material defects and determination of residual life of structures. For this purpose, non-destructive methods of experimental mechanics (e. g. strain-gauge measurement, photoelasticimetry) and optical methods, including electron microscopy, will be used.
