Engineering Materials 1

Lectures

  • Semester 2, position 4

Goal

After successfully attending the course, consisting of theoretical lectures on Engineering Materials 1, as well as maximal commitment in the practical topics of the course (through laboratory and problem solving exercises), the students become competent in the fundamentals of engineering materials, thus acquiring certain academic skills. By developing creativity and mastering specific skills that are necessary in the field of mechanical engineering, the students will gain an understanding of the structure of materials, their properties, applications and the possibilities for processing and altering their chemical, physical and technological properties.

Outcome

Upon the successful completion of the course, students are able to: • Identify the type of chemical bonding, crystal structure, and properties for a given type of material (metal, ceramic, polymer) • Apply information on elastic and plastic deformation for predicting the loads or strain, that lead to yielding, ultimate strength, or fracture. Differentiate the characteristic stress–deformation in metals, ceramics, crystals and non-crystals, polymers • Identify common defects in materials, when do they occur, and how they influence the mechanical characteristics of materials • Recognize the mechanisms that alter the mechanical properties of materials (deformation hardening, solid solution and precipitation hardening, …) • Identify phases and concentrations, eutectic, eutectoid alloys and reactions on phase diagrams of solid state components – with complete and partial solubility, and components with the absence of solubility, and recognize simple microstructures and their influence on mechanical properties of materials • Perform experiments (standard destructive tests) from which they analyze and interpret results of mechanical tests (hardness, plasticity, toughness, material resistance and deformation) on standard devices and machines (devices for measuring hardness by static and dynamic load, tensile testing machines, Charpy pendulum, extensometers, …) • Select the material type for the given system, component or process, as to satisfy the loading and functionality criteria, from the aspects of the structure, property, technology and process • Recognize the types of damage in engineering materials, their application and behaviour in exploitation (fatigue and creep), the classification and specifics of certain groups of modern materials used in mechanical engineering applications • Apply the concepts of crack propagation and brittle fracture, as well as the ductile-to-brittle transitional effects in the goal to predict the fracture of brittle materials
