1st Cycle Studies
Recommended Prerequisites
Material Science and Engineering, Thermodynamics, Applied Mechanics, Elasticity and Plasticity.
Teaching Methods
The fundamental aspects are presented in theoretical classes. These classes take the form of lectures using slides and videos. In theoretical-practical modules students proceed to the consideration and resolution of problems that illustrate the themes presented. Students participate actively in the process of formation, being asked to comment and discuss some of the topics covered in the course. Two companies in the areas of subjects taught are visited every year.
Learning Outcomes
This course aims to document the students about the technological processes of metal forming by plastic deformation and metal cutting. Moreover, the behaviour of materials when subjected to these processes is analysed and discussed, indicating their particular characteristics and tests used for the characterization of the materials mechanical behaviour.
As advance preparation needed for the study mentioned in the preceding paragraph, are the theoretical and experimental aspects of the material behaviour, during cold and hot plastic deformation. That is, the physical mechanisms of plastic deformation of ductile rupture and recovery of the deformed structure (restoration and recrystallization) are described.
Finally the fundamentals of machining technologies by chip removal, since they correspond to situations of extreme plastic deformation and rupture, are introduced.
Work Placement(s)
NoSyllabus
Mechanisms of plastic deformation (dislocation theory, strain hardening and recovery, plastic deformation of mono-and polycrystalline). Static and dynamic crystallization. Ductile rupture during cold and hot plastic deformation.
Metal forming technologies: rolling, sheet metal forming, extrusion, wire drawing, forging. It is mentioned the specificities of each process and the corresponding tests to characterize the mechanical behaviour of materials.
Methods for plasticity - theory and applications: method of slices (general cases and application to cold and hot rolling) and upper bound method.
Fundamentals of mechanics of orthogonal cutting. Classification and characterization of conventional machining processes.
