Course detail
Materials Selection and Performance
FSI-WUV-AAcad. year: 2023/2024
Student will be introduced to the problems of material selection. Student will interact with the philosophy of material selection and difficulties with decision in material selection. Student will learn about different methods of material selection and he will also use them practically in practice lessons. During a subject, student will be confronted with the multiple goals strategies, estimation of cost, ecological problems etc. Practice lessons are held in the computer lab equipped with the world-wide used software CES EduPack created by M. Ashby.
