Learning Outcomes
The target of the course is to make participants able to computationally estimate stress-states and damage in composite materials under thermo-mechanical loads and select constituent configurations for design of appropriate composite components. In addition, to target is to make participants know the most important material components as well as manufacturing and numerical modelling methods used in the field of fibrous polymer composites. The course also offers supplementary skills to account for composite-specific aspects of joining and hybrid materials in the simulation of material behaviour.
