[updated 12.09.2004]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

MAB-5.5 Mechanical and Process Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2004 , semester 5, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
MAB-1.4 Materials Science I with Lab Exercises
MAB-2.2 Materials Science II with Lab Exercises
MAB-2.6 Strength of Materials I
MAB-3.7 Strength of Materials II

Learning outcomes:
After completing this course students will have:
- acquired an overview of the relationships linking the mechanical behaviour of materials and the methods of material strength analysis that are essential for determining the strength of structural components;
- been introduced to the different concepts of strength testing, with particular emphasis on cyclic-dynamic and endurance strengths and on fracture mechanics.
