Dislocation Mechanisms of Plastic Deformations (FSI-9DMD)

Academic year 2026/2027
Supervisor: prof. Mgr. Tomáš Kruml, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚMVI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
 
Learning outcomes and competences:
 
Prerequisites:
 
Course contents:

The course broadens the basic knowledge acquired in the magister course „Dislocations and plastic deformation“. It focuses deeper on the mechanisms of material´s strengthening including mathematical description. Specific dislocation mechanisms in selected important engineering materials (steels, superalloys, aluminum alloys, TiAl intermetallics, hcp metals).
Examples of the behavior of dislocations in other materials according to the focus of individual Ph.D. students.
Teaching methods and criteria:
 
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:

Oral presentation of the Ph.D. student including discussion.
Writing a chosen subject in the style of research paper.
Lecture associated with the active participation of Ph.D. student as a way how to check mastering of matter prescribed for study.
Controlled participation in lessons:
 
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  10 × 2 hrs. compulsory                  
Course curriculum:
