Intended learning outcomes
After the course, the students should be able to
- describe and analyse important paper technology applications using correct solid mechanics terminology,
- relate the results from the most important methods for mechanical testing of paper and board to the appropriate solid mechanics terminology,
- describe important aspects of the constitutive modelling of paper and board for analyses of converting and end-use applications,
- demonstrate the benefits of mathematical modelling and numerical analyses in paper technology applications,
- discuss and argue for experimental and numerical results orally and in writing, and
- appreciate the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of using paper as a renewable material.

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
P, F
Examination
- HEM1 - Home assignments, 2,0 hp, betygsskala: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Other requirements for final grade

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
