Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Lectures: The subject will be presented using powerpoint in a sequential manner. Exercises will be solved and case studies analysed. Exercises will be carried out sequentially framing and summarising the subject.
Project work: Carrying out a materials selection project for an object/product/system with tutorial support. Project work involves carrying out experimental tasks, such as building and testing different materials (CFRP, nano-reinforced polymers, etc.) and also numerical modelling tasks (designing, building meshes, defining test parameters and material properties in Ansys). Students will produce a report in which they will learn about the concepts and practical work.
