| Objectives of the Course | |||||
| Microstructure characterization methods became considerably important in the quality control of construction materials, damage control, diagnosis analysis, and development of new construction materials. Optical and electron- optical methods allow the analysis of microstructure details. The aim of this lecture is to introduce the fundamentals of microstructure analysis methods to the graduate students. The theoretical and experimental knowledge and skill of students will be improved by presenting research studies related with sample preparation, analysis methods and interpretation of results | |||||
