(1) Understand the basic issues related to metal materials and learn their characteristics and how to test the strength. (taught by Sakaida).
(2) Become able to think about technological innovation through the fusion of different fields for the construction, maintenance, and control of concrete structures. (taught by Takeda).
(3) Understand the factors to consider when making environmentally friendly choices for materials, and deepen understanding by individually studying and explaining materials of interest to each other. (taught by Hiraishi).
(4) Understand the physical quantities related to magnetism along with units, and aim to understand and explain the properties of various magnetic materials. (taught by Kajimura).
Outline:
(1) With a focus on steel materials, explain the characteristics and types of metal materials, and methods for strengthening them together with breakdown phenomena under various conditions. (8 hours, taught by Sakaida.) (2) Explain the mechanical properties and reinforcement methods of concrete (a typical material for urban construction), maintenance and control techniques, and consideration for environmental issues. (6 hours, taught by Takeda.) (3) Deepen understanding by individually studying and explaining materials' environmental impact and the properties of various industrial materials. (8 hours, taught by Hiraishi.) (4) Understand the characteristics and properties of various magnetic materials and explain their application cases. (8 hours, taught by Kajimura.)
Style:
The class will be held in an omnibus format by four faculty members.
Weeks 1-4: Sakaida will teach classes in a lecture-style format.
Weeks 5-7 (Takeda): Students will learn about the mechanical properties of concrete, reinforcement methods, maintenance and control techniques, and consideration for environmental issues.
Weeks 8-11 (Hiraishi): After explaining choices of industrial materials and the difference in their environmental impact according to a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), students will select one industrial material related to their graduate study's special research and use PowerPoint to present its advantages, disadvantages, and environmental impact.
Weeks 12-15 (Kajimura): Students will learn the physical quantities related to magnetism along with units, and become able to understand and explain the properties of various magnetic materials. Students will also investigate application cases.
Notice:
This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
