To provide the students with an elementary background in the field of mechanical behavior of materials and about the main groups of materials.
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.
Structure of materials (classes of materials, properties, elastic behavior, atomic bonding, atomic arrangement)
Phase diagrams (diffusion, phase transformation, phase diagrams)
Plastic deformation (yielding and ductility, mechanics of deformation)
Strengthening mechanisms (monocrystals (intrinsic, particles, solute atoms, plastic deformation), policrystals)
Fracture mechanics (Griffith theory, stress intensity factor, mechanics of fracture)
Fatigue (high cycles, low cycles, components with cracks, mechanics of fracture)
Creep (creep curve, methods of extrapolation, mechanics of creep)
Steels: Fe-C phase diagram and TTT (time, temperature, transformation) diagrams.
Alloy steels: heat treatments.
Ceramics.
Polymers.
Composites.
Theoretical explanation. Concept and general elementary data presentation. Discussion of the presented subjects. Examples and case study of materials applications. Demonstration of materials mechanical testing in the Laboratory. Exercises. Study visits.

Presence of at least 75% of laboratory classes is mandatory to final exam admission.
Weighted means of the marks of 2 Tests and reports:
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 * (Reports)*0.2 + (2nd test)*0.3
