Learning Outcomes
After passing this course the student will know basics of crystal plasticity theory and its applications for metals formability. The student will understand how deformation mechanisms of metals influence the material behavior, plasticity, and fracture of metals at different strain rates and temperatures. The student understands how metal plasticity can be mathematically modelled using commonly used plasticity models. The student also understands the theoretical background of the models, and how the models are related to the deformation mechanisms. The student understands the benefits and limitations of the commonly used plasticity models Students will be familiar with the most common construction metals, their structure and properties as well as the factor affecting their use. They can also apply material knowledge and understand behavior of metals in in different areas of applications. He/She understand how formability is tested in practice and how to evaluate corrosion resistance of stainless steels.
