Description:
The module Materials structure testing methods shall enable that students expand their knowledge about phenomena and principles of operation and design of research instruments, which are applied in advanced measuring techniques and methods used to characterise the structure and basic properties of engineering materials. Owing to that students shall master operation of scientific-research instruments and acquire the skill to interpret measurement results. The understanding of phenomena and principles of operation shall result in a skilful application of appropriate testing technique to assess materials structure and properties.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge from the field of physics and chemistry modules.
