Introduction to the Materials Physics (FSI-WUF)

Academic year 2020/2021
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Bohumil Pacal, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚMVI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of this course is to notify students of inner structure of real crystalic and amorphous materials (metals, ceramics, polymers) and of the influence of defects interactions on their application properties and manufacturing processes.The task os this course is to give knowledges about relationship among phase composition, transformations, mechanical and other properties of the material.
Learning outcomes and competences:
This course allows students to obtain knowledges about inner structure of materials and about thermodynamics and kinetics of processes during material's manufacturing and use. Students get knowledges about relations between microstructure and properties of materials.
Prerequisites:
The course continue knowledges from atomic composition field, chemical thermodynamic, electrochemistry, crystalline composition of metals, equilibrium and disequilibrium phase transformations focused on metal systems, deformation and fracture behaviour of materials and knowledge of structure and properties of basic groups of metalic and nonmetalic materials
Course contents:
The purpose of the course „Introduction to physics of materials“ is to give to students necessary theoretical basis for solution problems in materials engineering. The main issues of the course are fundamental physicallaws governing the properties and manufacturing processes of the materials. Beside the metallic materials, it covers also basics of ceramics and polymers, their properties and processing. In this way, it creates cross-disciplinary bonds between various types of material.

Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Students have to take part in all practices, to give over all protocols of laboratory practices, which have to meet commensurate scientific and graphic level. Students have to elaborate final semestral thesis which will be included in the exam classification. Knowledges of given topics are to be chcked at the exam mainly by written form. List of topics will be notified to students at the beginning of the course. At the verbal part of the exam students will answer questions for other knowledges verification. Final classification includes: protocols evaluation, final thesis evaluation and results of the written and verbal parts of the exam.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Participation in practices is mandatory, must be properly excused absence. Attendance in practices will be checked, non-participation have to be duly excused. Basic credit conditions is continuous giving over protocols. Knowledges of lectured topics will be checked by short tests. In the case of sick leave in practice given topic will be supplied by individual submission.
