Abstract
Knowledge about the properties and application area of metals. Understanding the fundamentals of high polymers and ceramics, as well as the composite materials for engineers that can be confronted with material decisions in construction and production.
Objective
Knowledge about the properties and application area of metals. Understanding the fundamentals of high polymers and ceramics, as well as the composite materials for engineers that can be confronted with material decisions in construction and production.
Content
The lecture contains two parts: For metallic materials will be physical properties such as thermal, electric and magnetic properties examined. Important iron- and non-iron- alloys will be introduced and their cases of applications will be discussed. Fundamentals of the material failures through fracture will be imparted. In the second part of the lecture the structure and the properties of the high polymers and ceramics as well as composite materials will be discussed. Important subareas are the crystalline and non-crystalline materials and the porous solid bodies, the thermal- mechanical engineering material behaviour, as well as the probabilistic fracture mechanics. Beside the mechanic- the physical-properties will be also discussed. Engineering material related fundamentals of the productions engineering will be discussed.
