Physical Properties of Heterogeneous Materials

Summary

The subject yields basic information about heterogeneous materials like rocks, construction materials (concretes) or composite materials. It helps to create a concept of behaviour and properties of mentioned materials (mechanical, thermal, electrical) and ways of such materials disintegration in dependence on their components including pores. The subjects submits information about methods of study of heterogeneous materials under common conditions and in extreme pressures and temperatures.
