Description:
The module Modelling of processes proceeding in engineering materials shall show students the relationships between the knowledge about the matter properties on an atomic level and macro features of engineering materials. It comprises presentation of classical methods of molecular modelling (DM) or statistical Monte Carlo (MC) methods and shows their practical limitations. It shows an increasingly large importance of hybrid techniques, which combine modelling on a micro level with modelling of other material parts on a macro level and problems of matching the solutions at the contact of atomic and continuous areas.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education of physics, chemistry, crystallography, and thermodynamics modules.

lecture [IM2A_PS3_MODEL_fs_1]
TThe lecture shall enable understanding issues related to relationships between the atomic structure, the material structure and phenomena occurring in engineering materials and their properties. Both classical and hybrid modelling methods will be presented. The lecture is to be delivered in a classical way.
 30
Recalling issues related to the structure and defects in materials, issues of thermodynamics (equilibrium)
 10 Oral examination [IM2A_PS3_MODEL_w_1]
laboratory classes [IM2A_PS3_MODEL_fs_3]
Because of hybrid models numerical complexity, the classes will comprise mainly examples of classical modelling methods (molecular or MC) Examples will be based on programs included in the Hermann handbook.
30
Recalling basics of programming and the analysis of program code in a higher-order language (Fortran, Basic, Pascal).
