About the course
The technology used in defence and other demanding organizations must in many cases be able to function as well in hot and dry environments as they do in snow, ice and cold.
During the cold season, the equipment is exposed to greater stresses due to increased loads due to ice and cold, but the equipment also wears more because materials become brittle, oils become viscous and because the electronics can be damaged by condensation that occurs in heat exchanges.
The course includes
- polymeric materials
- composite materials
- metallic materials
- steel in cold climates
- hydraulics
- tribology, strength theory
- design problems
- snow and ice
- energy and combustion
Course structure
The course is compressed into five training days. Teaching is in the form of lectures and laboratory sessions. The course ends with an exam.
Teachers
Pär Marklund is assistant professor at the Division of Machine Elements and responsible for the course. Experts from the industry in collaboration with the university's researchers in machine elements, materials, energy and strength theory provide the education.
