Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students are able to understand and independently apply basic methods and principles of designing and dimensioning plastic components. They learn the basics of the material behavior of plastics, important design principles and the evaluation of plastic components with regard to their usability and reliability.

Skills Knowledge
In particular, they will be able to

- Know and apply essential principles of plastics engineering [k1].

- Identify critical properties of plastics and their influence on component dimensioning [k3].

- Apply simple design methods for plastic components independently [k2].

- Understand the importance of material selection and testing in the context of plastics engineering [k4].

- Analyze load collectives for plastic components and make design decisions based on them [k5].

Fundamentals of plastics technology: structure and properties of thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers.

Mechanical properties of plastics: Tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength and shear strength.

Thermal properties of plastics: Thermal conductivity, heat capacity, thermal expansion.

Processing techniques for plastics: injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming.

Fundamentals of component dimensioning: stress analysis, deformation analysis, safety factors.

Introduction to the finite element method (FEM) for the analysis of plastic components.

Making design decisions [k5].

Criteria for evaluation Written exam with 50% questions and 50% calculation examples
