Course: Materials under Complex Loading Conditions

• Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Niendorf

• Knowledge: Students will learn the relevant elementary processes that characterize material properties at high temperatures, under cyclic loading and under complex thermo-mechanical loading. They will also be familiar with all the techniques being used to enhance mechanical properties of components subjected to corresponding complex loads.
• Skills: Students will learn to assess stress conditions and derive measures for strength increase, boundary layer optimization as well as corrosion prevention.
• Competencies: The students are able to assess components with regard to their load-bearing capacity. They will also learn to design the components for advanced applications.. In addition, the students will gain the knowledge for a suitable material selection.

• Assessment and quantification of complex thermo-mechanical load-time histories as well as environmental conditions
• Elementary mechanisms of deformation
• Performance of tests under thermo-mechanical load
• Material selection under given loading conditions
• Surface modification
• Damage and failure mechanisms
