Course detail

Dislocation Mechanisms of Plastic Deformations

FSI-9DMD Acad. year: 2026/2027 Winter semester

The course broadens the basic knowledge acquired in the magister course „Dislocations and plastic deformation“. It focuses deeper on the mechanisms of material´s strengthening including mathematical description. Specific dislocation mechanisms in selected important engineering materials (steels, superalloys, aluminum alloys, TiAl intermetallics, hcp metals).
Examples of the behavior of dislocations in other materials according to the focus of individual Ph.D. students.

Syllabus

1. Reason and motivation for dislocation mechanisms study – extension of the basic knowledge acquired in the master degree course „Dislocations and plastic deformation“.
2. Deeper on the mechanisms of material´s strenghtening including mathematical description.
3. Specific dislocation mechanisms in selected important engineering materials (steels, superalloys, aluminum alloys, hcp metals).
4. Dislocation mechanisms in advance materials (TiAl intermetallics).
5. Examples of behavior of dislocations in other materials according to the focus of individual PhD students.
