Objetivos
Promoting knowledge of different types of materials used in mechanical engineering: metals, polymers, ceramics and composites and the relationship between their properties, structure, process and service performance. Recognizing the need for design with new materials.
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
1. Lectures with presentation of concepts and correlation between different types of materials. Typical cases and examples of materials and their application are also discussed. 2. Lab-Practice classes with solving problems. Experimental work in the laboratory is performed in-group, including testing of materials characterization and mechanical testing. Discussion of the reports of the experimental work is included.
Continuous assessment consists of tests and ten laboratory assignments. The assessment can also be made through a final exam.
