Dislocation Mechanisms of Plastic Deformations (FSI-9DMD)

Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: prof. Mgr. Tomáš Kruml, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚMVI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Active adoption of dislocation nature of materials performance during plastic deformation that enable targeted control of material properties including its quantification.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Ph.D. student will obtain advanced knowledge about the nature of plastic deformation including knowledge about possible quantification of dislocation mechanisms based on known models.
Prerequisites:
Good knowledge corresponding to the content of the course „Dislocations and plastic deformation“ as presented in magister study
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:
Lecture, practical examples solved by students.
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.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Lecture associated with the active participation of Ph.D. student as a way how to check mastering of matter prescribed for study.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  10 × 2 hrs. compulsory                  
Course curriculum:
    Lecture 1. Reason and motivation for dislocation mechanisms study - extension of the basic knowledge acquired in the master degree course „Dislocations and plastic deformation“.
2. Deeper on the mechanisms of material´s strenghtening including mathematical description.
3. Specific dislocation mechanisms in selected important engineering materials (steels, superalloys, aluminum alloys, hcp metals).
4. Dislocation mechanisms in advance materials (TiAl intermetallics).
5. Examples of behavior of dislocations in other materials according to the focus of individual PhD students.
