Introduction

After the course students should have a basic understanding of the mechanical properties of materials and how they are affected by the materialstructure and micro-mechanisms. Analyses and calculations based on the crystal structure, stress-strain curves and fracture mechanics data can be performed.

Content

Core topics include binding theory,crystallography,microstructure, defects and dislocation theory. Plasticity and elasticity. Materials and response to tensile strain. Strength increase mechanisms. Introduction to fracture mechanics and fatigue.

Course assessment

The faculty decides whether early dialogue will be held in all courses or in selected groups of courses. The aim is to collect student feedback for improvements during the semester. In addition, a digital course evaluation must be conducted at least every three years to gather students’ experiences.
