Objectives and competences
The objective of the course is that students will gain theoretical contemplation knowledge and practical knowledge:
• to provide the basic knowledge about mechanical behaviour of materials in regard to the operation condition of construction.
• to provide the basic knowledge of joined materials which are used for equipment design.
• to provide necessary practical application for process equipment design
• determination of real mechanical properties of materials.
• defects estimation of materials
Develop skills that will enable students to independently and creatively solve engineering problems.
Content (Syllabus outline)
Lectures:
• Definition of steel and iron and determination of basic material mechanical properties.
• Metal and non-metal materials, which are often used for construction of energy systems.
• Basic cutting processes of materials.
• Modern welding processes of materials and composites with special regard on solving of joined materials problems.
• Application of basic mechanical elements at energy system builg up.
• Basic eksperimental testing of materials with fracture mechanics application.
• Fracture models and cracks of materials.
Tutorial and seminar work:
Mechanical behaviour determination of homogeneous and heterogeneous materials at operation and their application at process equipment design.
Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to find out and to use:
• basic knowledge about selection and application of materials for process equipment
