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.

Learning and teaching methods

Frontal lectures. Coursework. Practical work at laboratory exercises.

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 • basic rules and standards for dimensioning of standard and nonstandard structure’s parts and elements • basic features and operation coditions of process equipment • defects at materials and joints • present spreading of fracture in materials, with special attention at dinamic loading of products. ESCO knowledge: - to measure and categorization control of different material strenght level. - joint of metal with materials for soft solder and welding. - to use ultrasound technics and equipment for detecting of defects in solid materials - to report on defects in production materials - production procedure of different vessels as boilers and pressure vessels and their application - fracture mechanics

Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes

Transferable/Key Skills and other attributes: Combined use of different standards, technical knowledge for dimensioning and software for design of process equipment.
