Lectures: MSc. Jaroslav Valach Ph.D.
Practicals: MSc. Michaela Neuhäuserová
Main topics
- Mechanical properties of materials
- Experimental testing of mechanical properties of materials
- The main classes of materials
- Defectoscopy
- Degradation of materials
Main goals of the course
Student will obtain a general overview of technically important materials (metals, polymers and composites). The basic level materials science course builds a consistent explanation of materials from the level of atomic level to practical procedures during technological processes and material production. He/she will also understand decisive mechanical properties of materials for engineering and technology on the basis of hands-on practicing of the most important mechanical tests like tensile test or hardness test.
