About the course
Aim
The course is an in-depth study within materials science from a mechanical engineering perspective and is intended to give advanced knowledge about the structural integrity of engineering materials, i.e., their ability to carry load and resist structural failures. After completing the course, the student will be able to
- Evaluate, analyse, model and make design choices based on, the influence of material and load conditions, i.e., mechanical loading, temperature and chemical environment, on the structural integrity of load-bearing structures.
- Perform, evaluate, document, analyse and draw conclusions from material testing to evaluate the structural integrity of materials and to identify the cause of structural failures.
Content
Elastic and plastic response of metallic engineering materials, strengthening mechanisms, time dependent deformation and creep mechanisms, fracture mechanics, fracture toughness, environmental impact on fracture and failures, Crack initiation and crack propagation.
