| Abstract | This lecture is focused on current issues of materials research from various fields. It provides an overview on various directions of research on civil engineering materials and is intended to simplify the further choice of courses. | ||||
| Learning objective | Based on the bachelor courses „Materials I-III“, current, fundamental, and important issues of specific building materials are addressed. Next to aspects of material production, usage and properties, their interaction with the environment e.g. by durability and environmental impact are addressed. This course is intended to simplify the further selection of courses. | ||||
| Content | The lecture is segmented into 12 important problems, namely: 1. Materials, Structures, and Sustainability 2. Wave propagation 3. Fracture mechanics 4. Plasticity 5. Cyclic failure (Fatigue) 6. Size effects in materials (concrete) 7. Granular matter: (DEM) 8. Wood: from the tree to the beam (multi scale approaches) 9. Rheology 10. Foam (e.g. polymers) 11. Gluing and coating (surfaces) 12. Biomimetics in Constructions | ||||
