Teaching language

Suitable for English-speaking students

Objectives

To provide the students with an elementary background in the field of mechanical behavior of materials and about the main groups of materials. 

Learning outcomes and competences

It is expected that at the end of the course, the students be able to:
-          Compare materials according to their static and dynamic mechanical properties.
- Explain the role of the crystal defects and other variables in the mechanical behavior.
- Know the strengthening mechanics, their advantages and limitations.
- Relate the microstructure with the mechanical properties through the study of the equilibrium diagrams.
- Know (structure, types and properties) the ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.
- Know (structure, types and properties) the ceramics.
- Know (structure, types and properties) the polymers.
Know (structure, types and properties) the composites.

Eligibility for exams

Article 4º (FEUP evaluation rules).

Calculation formula of final grade

Weighted means of the marks of 2 Tests and a report:

1st test (written) on the mechnaical behaiour of materials

2nd test (Moodle) on the classes of materials

A minimum score of 7 out of 20 values in each of the tests is required

Final Mark = (1st test) * 0.5 * (Report)*0.2 + (2nd test)*0.3

Examinations or Special Assignments
