Micromechanics and Microstructure Characterization of Materials

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Mechanics

Synopsis:

The course is aimed at getting acquainted with modern measuring methods and their relation to the calculation method for the determination of micro-mechanical characteristics as well as their application to describe the materials. Of particular interest are geopolymer cement composites. The subject will include the basics of the following areas:

Forms of experimentation methods od micromechanics- especially nanoindentation, atomic force microscopy and electron microscopy for different types of materials.

-Methods for determining the micromechanical properties of a heterogeneous microstructure in the submicron region.

-models to describe the microstructure of building materials.

-Methods calculating the properties of composites and homogenization (analytical, FEM, FFT).

-Calorimetry.

-Practical measurement and applications for building materials.

-The tasks are solved in connection with Master's thesis topics.
