Summary
The subject familiarizes students with an elementary knowledge about qualities and structure of moust common constructional materials. Topic of lectures is explanation of atomic laws and molecular structure and constitution crystals, respective amorphous materials. As well as explanation of stress-strain relations and degradation process.
