Course detail

Electrotechnical Materials, Material Systems and Production Processes

FEKT-DPA-ET1Acad. year: 2024/2025

Part I. offers the description of the nature of anisotropic materials in general, with more detailed application at piezoelectric materials. It describes linear theory of piezoelectricity, components and systems, production processes of various piezoelectric systems included.
Part II. deals with Physics of the Solar Cell, Photovoltaic sources, principle of function and characteristics, basic types of photovoltaics systems and aplications and manufacturing Solar Cells and modules.
Part III. deals with Solder joint, solder joint formation. Requirements for solder joint. Reliability of solder joint - material and process factors.
Part IV. deals with problems of mathematical – physical modelling allowing to model the studied difficulties of basic and complex physical tasks in research practice.

Aims

Aim of Part I. is to enlarge the knowledge about nature of anisotropic materials generally, with the concrete applications in the area of piezoelectricity.
Aim of Part II. is to enlarge the knowledge about photovoltaic sources of electric power, possibility and ecological aspects of their usage.
Aim of Part III. is preparing the students for the solution of technological problems in area Solder joint, solder joint formation, Requirements for solder joint, Reliability of solder joint - material and process factors.
Aim of Part IV. is to familiarize (the) students with possible ways of solving (specific) scientific tasks using mathematical – physical modelling of studied difficulties and to master the problems by debugging the studied task.
The graduate gains deeper knowledge in the selected parts of electrotechnical materials, material systems and production processes. The modular system enables a specific composition of the curricular programmed according to the focus of the student or according to his planned dissertation.
