Kursinformation

Course Contents
The seminar is held in an inverted classroom format, consisting of bi-weekly seminar sessions with lecture videos for self-study in preparation of each session. During the seminar sessions, a specific topic will be discussed from a theoretical and application point of view followed by practical exercises that students will be working on individually or in small groups. The seminar covers a variety of current topics in physical metallurgy such as:
- Uniaxial and small scale mechanical testing
- Imaging and quantification of dislocations
- Finite element simulations
- Severe plastic deformation

Preconditions
Knowledge on mechanical properties of metals including strengthening mechanisms. Attendance of "Mechanical Properties of Metals" and/or "Engineering Microstructures" lectures recommended.

Official Course Description
- The students are familiar with mechanical testing procedures across different length scales and the evaluation of such experiments.
- The students are able to explain the basic concepts of geometrically necessary and statistically stored dislocations and provide examples as well as suitable characterization methods.
- The students are capable to extract the key concepts and insights of research articles and present them to peers.
