| Course code : | XMSM-U1 | ||
| ECTS Credits : | 7,5 | Status : | Compulsory |
| Placement : | 3. semester | Hours per week : | 8 |
| Length : | 1 semester | Teaching Language : | Danish and English |
| Principal Content : | The following material groups will be treated: metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. The physical concepts of forces and moments, stresses, deformations and strains, elasticity and plastic deformation will be introduced. These concepts will be related to the geometry and loading of structural components and also to material composition, i.e. chemical structure, atomic bonding, crystal and phase structures as well as microstructures for composites and porous materials. The interplay between structural properties under load, material parameters and geometry is illustrated by simple examples of uniaxial tension/compression, bending, torsion and buckling. The software “Cambridge Engineering Selector” is used for interactive material selection. The knowledge obtained during the course is used in two laboratory exercises, where the microstructure and mechanical properties of a specimen is analyzed. |
