| Course objectives: |
| The main objective of this subject is to introduce the basic knowledge of materials science and continuum mechanics background for PhD students arriving with different background in materials and continuum mechanics. Analysis of the stress and strain state, yield conditions and stress-strain relationships, i.e. material laws. Theoretical solution of metal forming processes including analytical methods (e.g. the uniform work method, the engineering or slab method, upper bound solutions) and from numerical solution methods the Finite Element Analysis is emphasized. |
