Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After the course, the participant should be able to
- discuss important applications in packaging technology using the correct mechanical and chemical terminology
- relate the results from the most important testing methods for determining the mechanical behaviour of packaging materials to basic and relevant quantities in solid mechanics, and also
- demonstrate the benefits of mechanical modelling and numerical analysis in packaging materials applications.

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.
