What it is about

You learn rheological fundamentals and their application to the analysis and modeling of the deformation behavior of viscoelastic liquids and solids. In the end you will be able to determine rheological key parameters, assign appropriate rheological constitutive models, and draw initial conclusions about microstructural causes of rheological behavior.

What you will be able to do

Describe and apply rheological parameters (e.g. shear resistance, viscosity, thixotropy)
Create rheological constitutive models and assign phenomenological deformation behavior
Discuss links between rheology and microstructural effects (interparticle interactions, reaction kinetics, structural formation)
Select and practically apply rheometric measurement methods
Analyze measurement data and convert it into a suitable rheological constitutive model

What the module consists of

VorlesungConveying rheological fundamentals, models and links between microstructure and rheology
Begleitende Übung / LaborPlanning and conducting measurement sequences, analysis of results, practical application of rheometric methods in small groups

Teaching method

Präsentation (PowerPoint) und TafelarbeitExplanation of theoretical content
Bereitstellung der Unterlagen auf MoodleAccessibility of teaching materials for self-study
Experimentelle Laborarbeit in KleinstgruppenLinking theory and practice through independent measurements and evaluation

What you should already know

Sicherer Umgang in der Mathematikrecommended
Vorkenntnisse im Bereich Werkstoffkunderecommended

Assessment

Written examWritten testProject workReportPresentationOral examPortfolioListening comprehension

90-minute written examination; only a calculator is allowed. In the exam you demonstrate understanding of rheological key parameters, transfer these to complex rheological constitutive models, describe the deformation behavior of viscoelastic liquids and solids, and select suitable testing methods and experimental setups for material characterization.
