Limit States of Materials and Structures (FSI-GS0)

Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: prof. Ing. Ivo Dlouhý, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚMVI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to teach the students who are interested in having expertise in machinery, how to apply the knowledge of deformation and failure of engineering materials when detecting fault sources.
Learning outcomes and competences:
The course teaches the students to understand the basic methodical techniques concerning the damage of machines or devices in the case that such a damage was caused by unsuitable choice of service properties of engineering materials.
Prerequisites:
see annotation
Course contents:
The course presents a series of case studies drawn from real situations involving material failures. It is suitable for students who are familiar with engineering materials in an equivalent scope as the courses ”Materials Science I, II" and ”Limit States of Materials and Structures (6ms)". It is intended for students majoring in a wide range of engineering subjects (including mechanical, civil, aeronautical, manufacturing, chemical, materials and design engineering) and people interested in failure analysis and prevention.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The course has a form of series of workshops. An active participation in the workshops is required for successful completion of the course.
Controlled participation in lessons:
The course is optional. Successful completion of the course is conditional on an active participation in the workshops.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 2 hrs. optionally                  
Course curriculum:
    Lecture International and European standards survey
