Course content
This course deals with basic concept of "Pressure", history of development in engineering and science of high pressure, methods of high-pressure generation, and types of high-pressure equipment. The course also provides recent research topics on materials and geophysics. Personal investigation on "high pressure around you", and group discussion on the issues will be set.
Purpose of class
The aim of this course are to know and understand the meaning of "Pressure" that is one of the essential parameters of material stability, and to understand the application to scientific research and engineering. Another purpose is to study the practical techniques and equipment related to high pressure. The final goal is to propose a plan or an idea to find a breakthrough of the problems with using high-pressure techniques.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand a basic concept of pressure and units of pressure, and to explain these to your classmates and teacher
  2. To deepen the understanding through the investigation of "pressure around you", and group discussion on it
  3. To study the recent topics in high pressure study, and to proposed your idea related to high pressure
