Objectives and competences
The objective of the course is that students will gain basic theoretical 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.
• practical application of process equipment design
• to determine the 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:
• Basic features of internal structures of materials and proper application of materials in regard to their microstructure and mechanical properties.
• Testing of materials with using basic mechanical tests.
• Mechanical behaviour determination of materials at different loadings (statics or dynamics) and extreme temperature (low or high) operation.
• Basic features of jointed materials.
• Standard classification of materials and their application at process equipment design.
• Basic features of bearings, shafts, axles and pipe flanges.
• Nondestructive method of detecting defects at materials and joints which appears during loading operation and preventive measure for their safe operation.
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 explain and present:
• 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
ESCO knowledge:
