Mechanics of Materials

Course teacher
Domagoj Vrsaljko

Course objective
Acquisition of general technical knowledge and fundamentals of mechanical behavior of materials. The acquired knowledge will be useful during studies in senior years as well as for later application in engineering practice.

Course implementation program
1. Introduction to engineering graphics. Technical standards.
2. Fundamentals of technical mechanics. Statics. Force, moment.
3. Free body diagram - Principle of isolation or cut.
4. Friction. Rope friction.
5. Friction - pulley systems.
6. 1st colloquium: Engineering graphics, statics, friction.
7. Mechanics of deformable bodies - Fundamentals and applications. Stress and strain
8. Mechanical properties of materials: static strength. Strength theories. Elasticity, plasticity, viscoelasticity.
9. Exercises: Mechanical properties of the material: static strength (UTM), impact fracture, hardness.
10. Basic load cases: train, pressure. Generalized Hooke's law. Sizing of construction elements, numerical methods. Real and budgetary strain. Elongation diagram, Poisson number, modulus of elasticity.
11. Thermal stress.
12. Torsion, bending, shearing, buckling.
13. Colloquium 2: Equations of the Constitution.
14. Mechanical properties of materials: creep, relaxation, impact toughness, hardness. Fracture mechanics.
15. Mechanical properties of materials: yielding and fatigue. Processing processes and material fracture. Examples of material mechanics applications.

Developing general and specific student competencies
Mastering the basics of mechanical behavior of construction materials and dimensioning of elements. Adopting an integrated approach in problem solving.

Method of testing knowledge and taking exams
The knowledge test is conducted continuously during the teaching process through conversation.
Partial colloquia (2 colloquia) or written exam
Oral exam (accessed after passing the written part of the exam).
The overall grade comes from success in the written and oral exams and participation during lectures and exercises.

Expected learning outcomes at the level of the course:
1. distinguish the basic forms of structure loads
2. analyze the causal relationship between stresses and strains in a broader sense
3. connect the principles of material mechanics with mechanical structures
4. analyze two-dimensional examples of stress and strain states
5. analyze and optimize deformation and microstructural processes
6. link the methodology of testing the mechanics of materials with the development of materials and products
7. identify appropriate processing and shaping processes

Learning outcomes at the level of the study programme:
1. explain scientific principles important for materials science and engineering, especially in chemistry, physics, mathematics and chemical engineering
2. recognise major elements of materials science and engineering: structure, properties, processing and performance of materials
3. relate gained knowledge of materials, their application and processing
4. use adequate models and equipment in processing, characterization and application of materials, taking into account work safety
