Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Attain knowledge about describing and modelling the microstructure of materials.
• Be able to apply modelling techniques for simulation of material properties

Skills

• Be able to use different experimental techniques, such as Raman spectroscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermo-mechanical analysis (TMA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
• Be able to simulate selected test techniques or processes utilizing multiphysics software packages.

Competences

• Be able to combine measuring techniques for determining material behaviour, such that techniques for determining mechanical properties are used along with methods for describing microstructure and molecular and atomic structure.

Type of instruction

The teaching is organized in accordance with the general form of teaching. Please see the programme cirruculum §17.
