Summary
The subject familiaries students with an elementary kowledge about qualities and structure of moust common constructional materials. Topic of lectures is explanation of atomic laws and molecular structure and constitution of crystals and amorphous materials respectively. As well as explanation of stress-strain relations and degratiation process.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Student should learn elementary procedures and methods using at problem solution of material science. To make sure of lectured topic understanding. To apply gained knowledge in practise.
