After successfully completing the module, students will have cutting edge knowledge about recent developments in new materials. They know new materials systems (e.g. additive manufactured materials, high entropy alloys, nano-compo-sites, ultrahigh-strength materials and bio-based / bio-inspired materials) and how to quantify their benefits according to mechanical and environmental influences compared with traditional materials.
Skills in the application of fracture mechanics principles, the concept of damage tolerant design and the theory of irreversible deformation will be understood. Stu-dents will be able to use prediction approaches for infinite fatigue life of materials. They can quantify material degradation and environmental impacts based on chemical, electrochemical and biological corrosion as well as thermal influences (creep, decomposition).
