Description:
The Principles of materials designing and selection module shall enable students learning the general principles of designing and rules used in the methodology for engineering materials selection. Students shall master the basic knowledge about engineering materials and definitions of their properties. Understanding the principles of proceeding in this field shall result in the skill of independent selection of materials based on the application of appropriate methods. Owing to the gained knowledge students shall obtain a better understanding of interrelationships between the material, its structure, properties and the manufacturing methods having a substantial influence on the durability of engineering structures.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education in rudiments of materials science, metals and alloys, ceramics, polymers, and composites modules.
