Course objectives:

The course identifies the modes of mechanical failure emphasizing the most important ones. The topic of fatigue is considered including both high - cycle and low - cycle range. Brittle fracture, ductile rupture, creep, fretting fatigue, and several other failure modes are discussed. The students will be given the opportunity to learn about mechanical failures and about application of failure theories and failure prediction and prevention. Practical examples of mechanical failure from industry are given as well.

Student responsibilities:

Attending the lectures and exercises.

Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:

seminar paper: 50% oral exam: 50%

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):
