Entry requirements

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Prerequisites

Engineering materials, Solid mechanics and Deformation and Fracture.

Intended learning outcomes

The aim of this course is to give a theoretical and practical knowledge of several important testing methods for characterizing the structure and properties of engineering materials. Most of these methods are used daily in industry for production quality control, failure analysis and research and development of new materials and materials technology. They are also important tools for academic researchers.

Course content

During the project work, the students form small research groups with the aim to explain the mechanisms that have been crucial to the outcome of a specific test method. The chosen test method can for example be, fatigue testing, crack growth testing, thermo-mechanical fatigue, tensile or impact testing. The imagination and the available equipment is the limit. Depending on the direction of the project, further studies will be done using for example, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and optical light microscopy. Mechanical testing, sample preparation and interpretation of the results is the core of the course. The results should be written as a scientific paper also presented orally for the other students.

Teaching and working methods

The course consists of lectures, laboratory work and a supervised project work, which is performed in groups of 2 to 4 students. Students are expected to take the major responsibility for the project work to be completed.
