Students understand thermodynamic laws, fundamentals of thermodynamics in liquid and solid solutions, chemical and phase equilibria in materials, fundamentals of kinetics and electrochemistry. Theory is ... Read more
In this course, emphasis is placed on those chapters of continuum mechanics that deal with the relation between stresses and strains as a consequence of matter-specific properties of materials. From the displacement fields, students learn to calculate the deformation tensor and then define the stress tensor depending on elastic, plastic and viscous properties of materials. ... Read more
