Subject syllabus

1. The importance of modelling and simulations in modern materials engineering.
2. Mathematical modelling - basic principles, finite element method, models of artificial neural networks.
3. Database systems in materials engineering.
4. Simulation of technological processes. Numerical simulation of welding process - prediction of microstructure, hardness, internal stresses and deformations.
5. Basic principles of microstructure modelling - prediction of thermodynamically equilibrium state, modelling of kinetics of structural changes, application of microstructure modelling in experimental studies of microstructure.
6. Modelling and simulation of equilibrium and non-equilibrium crystallization processes of metallic materials.
7. Use of numerical modelling methods for optimization of materials production and processing technologies - parameters of heat treatment of semi-products / products, forming of materials.
8. Physical modelling and simulation - basic principles.
9. Modelling and simulation of time-dependent degradation processes of material properties - creep, fatigue, or creep + fatigue.
10. Simulation of material degradation by corrosion processes.
11. Practical use of modelling and simulation results, experimental validation of modelling results.
