Objective
The students know generally the basic characteristics of the most important materials used in logistic equipment engineering and when necessary, they can find additional information of them. The students understand how to choose the characteristics of materials on the basis of the requirements falling on them and how the characteristics of materials are connected with the dimensioning of structures, especially for the part of strength dimensioning. The students can calculate tensile-, compression-, shearing-, torsional-, and bending stresses. The students understand the significance of the load capacity loss of a structure caused by stability loss and they can calculate the buckling strength of a compressed member.
Content
Materials:
-the characteristics affecting the engineering of the most important materials, especially structural steel
-stress-strain diagram, steel as the example
-calculating tensile-, compression-, shearing-, torsional-, and bending stresses
-buckling strength in a basic situation
Qualifications
Basic knowledge and skills of mathematics, physics, mechanics and technical drawing
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)
Description of the knowledge at different levels:
Excellent (5) The students prove in exams and assignments that they know and understand the content of the course. They understand the grounds of choosing and principles dimensioning materials and they are able to dimension simple structures.
Good (3-4)
Like the previous, but the student understand how different treatments (molding, weld,machining) affect in property of the material and can apply to basic formulas of the strength of materials.
Satisfactory (1-2)
Like the previous, but the student knows materials engineering and basic concepts of the strength of materials.
* Approval criteria of the course: Both sections (materials engineering and the strenght of materials) has been successfully completed.
* The grade is the average of the grades of both sections by the weight value 50/50%.
