Learning outcomes of the course unit

The knowledge of the processes of plastic deformation in crystals. Relation between sub-microscopic events in solids and macroscopic manifestation of these events - i.e. changes in mechanical properties.

Prerequisites

Atomic bonds, fundamentals of crystallography, crystallographic systems, crystal symmetry, crystal lattice defects, crystalline structure of solid solutions and intermediate phases in metallic and ceramic systems.

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

Course-unit credit: Awarding the credit is conditional on attendance at all exercises and on written reports on the tasks assigned. Examination: In the written part, students answer four questions. Three questions are theoretical, one is practical. In this part of the exam, students may use available literature, with the exception of the course book. In the oral part, students explain the theoretical topics as prompted by the examiner.

Aims

The course concentrates on explaining the essence of the formation of mechanical properties of metallic and non-metallic substances, in dependence on faulted crystal lattice. Information is provided about the mechanisms of plastic deformation in single-crystal and polycrystalline materials, deformation textures, and strain hardening. In the exercises, students learn the experimental methods for studying plastic deformation.

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

Attendance at exercises is compulsory. Absence from exercises must be accounted for. Students who have missed an exercise will be given an extra assignment. They will prove in the form of a written report that they have mastered the given topic.
