Purpose and Content

The aim of the course The aim of the course is to provide a broad competence platform for applied engineering work related to materials selection. The course introduces analytical tools and methods for qualified materials selection for engineering applications. Principles for material design for typical applications are also treated where the importance of behaviour of specific materials and classes of materials are considered with respect to temperature stability, mechanical strength and chemical resistance, etc.
Course Content The course includes following: - overview lectures regarding design-oriented materials selection based on concepts according to Granta Selector, interactive exercises where the participants are trained in systematic and objective materials selection work, individual assignments that are evaluated, group-based project work where the participants will work through and present a case study. Through application examples, the methodology and working concept for systematic and objective materials selection is trained. Basics regarding definition, development and use of material indices are treated. Methodology for more complex problems are treated including situations where two or more material property demands should be fulfilled at the same time. Sustainability criteria with respect to materials selection are addressed, with particular reference to use phases.
