- Knowing different engineering test methods - Learning the theoretical basis of different tests methods. - Knowing the posibilities and the limitations of these test methods. - Knowing what is a virtual test and its relation with real tests. - Quantifying the reliability of the results of a virtual test by calculating its uncertainty.

1. Test techniques in Mechanical Engineering. 2. Strain experimental measuring: strain gauges. 3. Strain experimental measuring: fotoelasticity. 4. Virtual tests. 5. Simulation techniques uncertainty (FEM)

The training activities include: - Lectures, where the theoretical concepts are presented. Students will receive lecture notes and key reference texts to help them follow the classes. - Lab classes, where students experimentally verify the theoretical concepts and results seen in class.
