Material and Failure Analysis 7,5 Credits

Course Contents

The course will introduce advanced and detailed knowledge of deformation, fracture and failure mechanisms in metallic materials at both room and elevated temperature. Emphasis is placed on the use of materials, i.e. the properties of materials when subjected to cracking, fatigue, stress at high temperature etc, or different kinds of life/use limiting conditions.

The course covers the following topics:
-Analytical methods/techniques for the study of fracture surfaces
-Deformation, crack initiation and growth
-Fracture and failure mechanisms that occur in metallic materials
-Life or usage limiting environments
