Course detail
Selected Chapters in Materials Science
FSI-9VFMAcad. year: 2023/2024
This course provides students with the theoretical foundations necessary for a complex solution of materials problems. It is conceived as the physical basis of processing technologies of metallic as well as nonmetallic structural metarials. It also includes physical-chemical fundamentals of the sythesis of materials and provides in-depth information about the deformation and fracture behaviour of materials, failure mechanisms, and fundamentals of fracture mechanics.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Students regularly attend lectures, recommended seminars and seminar consultations.
Aims
This course enables students to acquire a knowledge about the internal structure of structural materials and about the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of their phase transformations. Students are also made familiar with the deformation and fracture behaviour of materials, with the fundamentals of fracture mechanics, and with selected degradation processes (corrosion, wear).
