Puupohjaisten materiaalien rakenne ja ominaisuudet

Petri P. Kärenlampi

Lectures 30 h, exercises 70 h, literature 120 h

 

 

Properties. Anisotropy. The effect of structure, moisture and temperature on properties. Sorption, changes in dimensions, hysteresis. Diffusivity, permeability.

Thermal transitions. Composites, Strain energy density. Strength.

Time-dependent material behavior. Kubelka-Munk Optics.

 

 

The student will gain some knowledge of materials science, especially in the case of porous, hygroscopic, anisotropic and time-dependent materials. The student will be able to deduce and compute some relations between structure, material properties, and structural properties.
