Prerequisites: / |
Course Objectives:
The objective of the subject is to introduce students to the latest advanced non-metallic materials: ceramic, polymeric and composite materials. The acquired knowledge provides conversance of the technology of obtaining advanced materials, their characteristics, optimal choice of materials for a specific purpose, as well as predicting the behavior of materials in different conditions of exploitation. Further directions for conquering new materials and improving the properties of existing materials. |
Learning Outcomes:
Within this course, fundamental and applied knowledge in the development, production, modification and application of modern materials in various industrial and other fields are studied. It is of great importance for the practice to know the mechanical and other characteristics of polymers, composites and ceramics in order to determine the optimal connections between stress and deformation, elasticity and microplasticity, breakage and high elasticity. Application of theoretical and practical knowledge to calculations and selection of materials for certain industrial purposes. |
