Note

The laboratory Work “Fatigue and fracture behavior of metallic materials – M.Sc. MB” enables students to acquire comprehensive knowledge of materials testing, including hardness, tensile, and fatigue tests, and related measurement techniques. The laboratory consists of five sessions and self-study components, combined with a written assignment. Registered students will be divided into groups (max. 5 people) during the first session (kick-off) and the test sequence will be coordinated. It is necessary to attend the kick-off session for this purpose. Students first learn about the theory behind the experiments through self-study (literature). The practical experiments will take place in the second, third, and fourth sessions. The files and information necessary for evaluating the experiments will be made available in Moodle after the kick-off session. The results will be presented by each group in a final report (paper style) and a final presentation (20 min.) during the fifth session. This will be followed by a scientific discussion of the evaluated data (10 min.).

*The concept of the course is in English, but the final presentation can be in German or English.
