Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of constitutive model of materials for mechanical applications. The student will have the ability to model deformative processes in the regime of large strain, to apply the models for predicting the plastic behaviour of structures and production processes. The students will be able to predict the structural behaviour of not homogenous and not isotropic materials such as the compostite laminae and laminates.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The student presents an informal report completed in Mathcad program (or equivalent) on a subject of the course chosen by the student. The oral exam includes questions regarding the possibility to set up experiments for measuring stiffness or strength properties of the materials examined during the course.
Methods:
- Final oral exam
- Final essay
- Oral report
- Written report
Further information:
During the oral exam, the student has to demonstrate to be able to use the Mathcad program (or equivalent) for solving problems related to the mechanical behaviour of materials.
