Physical materials science and mechanical properties of materials

Description: The discipline is aimed at studying the basics of physical processes that determine the structure and properties of various materials, as well as mastering the methods of their research and analysis.The aim of the course is to provide PhD students with fundamental knowledge and practical skills in the field of materials science necessary to understand the physical processes that determine the structure and properties of various materials. During the course, students will get acquainted with the crystalline and amorphous structures of materials, methods of diagnosis and analysis of mechanical properties such as strength, ductility and hardness. Special attention is paid to the processes of deformation and destruction, as well as modern materials and technologies for their production, including composites and nanomaterials. The course includes theoretical classes, laboratory work and practical application of modeling methods to solve problems in the field of materials science.

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

• 40% of the examination result;
• 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:
