Overview
What you will learn
After the Mechanical Properties of Materials course provided by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the student should be abel to:
- fundamental dislocation theory and strengthening mechanisms in metals
- fracture, fatigue and creep in metals
- how different material parameters and external factors affect the mechanical properties
- which test methods are suitable for measurement of mechanical properties
- difference in influence of static and dynamic stress
- influence of time and temperature on the mechanical properties of materials, "time-temperature"
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:- Mechanical properties of inorganic materials (metals, cerams) and organic materials (polymers, fibres) and composites (material blends, nanocomposites, filled and reinforced systems)
- For inorganic materials: microstructure development during deformation, dislocation theory, hardening mechanisms, fracturei, fatigue and creep
- Mechanical testing, enthalpy elasticity, rubber elasticity, viscoelasticity, plasticity, viscoplasticity, fracture properties, deformation velocity and temperature influence. Molecular and morphological influence on the mechanical properties. External influence including moisture, solvents and oxidation
