Course detail

Testing of Materials and Products

FSI-DZMAcad. year: 2015/2016

Using appropriate testing methods it is possible to determine the utilization of a material in a given technical application, to determine defects of materials (open-grain structures, inclusions, cracks, etc.) and to assess any possible degradation of the applied material during an operation (wear, occurrence of fatigue cracks, etc.). As a part of the course, the description, importance and application of the most important mechanical, technological and non-destructive tests is given. Attention is also paid to fundamentals of phase and structural analyses using light microscopy.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The course allows students to obtain a view of testing equipment and methods which are used at destructive and non-destructive testing of constructional materials.

Prerequisites

Knowledge from courses of "Materials Science and Engineering" and "Structure and Material Properties" are required.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The course-unit credit requirements: attendance at exercises and to working-out all protocols according to teacher’s instructions. The exam consists of two parts. The written part contains five questions from topics presented during the semester. At the verbal part students will answer questions concerning the written part and other complementary questions.

Work placements

Not applicable.

Aims

The course is concerned with the input material or the product testing in shanking technology. The purpose is to demonstrate alternatives of individual testing methods and their importance in practice.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Exercises are compulsory. Absence from the exercises must be properly excused. The course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having worked out several individual presentations during the semester.

Recommended optional programme components

Not applicable.

Prerequisites and corequisites
