Materials Science

Language of instruction angličtina, čeština
Code 330-0307
Abbreviation NM
Course title Materials Science
Coordinating department Department of Applied Mechanics
Course coordinator doc. Ing. František Fojtík, Ph.D.

Summary

The course introduces students to basic knowledge about the properties and structure of the most commonly used structural materials. They will learn the laws of atomic and molecular structure and the construction of crystalline and amorphous substances. They will also learn about stress-strain behavior and selected degradation processes in materials. Students will learn to process and evaluate basic tests of mechanical properties of individual materials - tensile test, compression test, bending and torsion tests, hardness tests, material fatigue tests, wear tests, residual stress tests, etc. The student will be able to design a suitable material for a given structure and choose its protection. The student will be able to independently orient themselves in the properties of individual structural materials, their composition and applicability in practice.
