Polymers are becoming increasingly important as structural materials. Their use in the industry is growing rapidly due to the advantages offered by these materials compared to the more traditional materials such as metals. Some of the main advantages are: simple forming, corrosion resistance, favourable relationship between strength and weight, multi-functional use\u2026 They are expected to withstand the loads over the entire lifetime. This requires predicting the long-term reliability of structural elements, which in turn demands the knowledge about the properties of materials. Building from polymers is quite difficult because the mechanical properties of polymers are strongly time-dependent, as opposed to the metals. The students will be acquainted with the skills necessary for the successful use of non-metallic materials in engineering practice. They will learn about the methodologies of characterization of time-dependant non-metals, as well as adopt the basic concepts of product design using these materials.<\/p>\n
