Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2. Material Physics

Course subject(s) Structural Engineering Lectures

In this lecture Prof. Ir. R. Alderliesten talks about Material physics and proerties. The subjects covered in this lecture are different loading mechanisms in materials and their deformation mechanisms. Material properties that are discussed are strength, stiffness and toughness.

The second part of the lecture focuses of the effect of temperature on strength, fatigue properties, toughness and on the expansion of the material.  Next to temperature,a selection of all kinds of different environmental influences on the material are discussed.
