Prerequisites
          Although it is not mandatory, a previous pass in the module Materials Science and Engineering would be useful
Objectives
          The students should:
.know the concepts of elasticity and plasticity 
. know the key material deformation mechanisms 
. understand the different types of  material behaviour when subject to mechanical load and kow how to use them 
. be familiarised with mechanical tests
