Main objective of the course is that students acquire skills and knowledge about experimental methods for strength testing of pressures equipment. Students learn about possibilities of conventional and modern methods for stress and strain measurement (optical methods, strain gauges, extensometers etc.), focusing on three-dimensional optical deformation measurement.

By successful completion of the study program student acquires the following skills: analysis, synthesis and prediction of solutions and consequences in the field of strength testing of pressure equipment; development of critical thinking and self-critical approach; application of knowledge in practice; professional ethics; correlation of knowledge from different fields and their applications; testing of stress and strain states of pressure equipment using conventional and modern methods.

Basic concepts of pressure equipment analytical calculations. Working loads, stresses and strains of pressure equipment. Extensometric methods. Optical methods. Digital Image Correlation method.

Application of three-dimensional optical deformation measurement method on pressure equipment in laboratory conditions. Development of testing plans. Writing a seminar paper.

No requirements.

Available faculty resources (classrooms, laboratories and library) will be used for the course. Literature for the course is in the professor’s cabinet, as well as at faculty’s library.
