MOL-42236 Advanced Composites, 5 cr

Implementation MOL-42236 2019-01

Description

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.

Additional information of course implementation

The students are required to have basic knowledge of mechanics of materials before entering the course. In detail, fundamentals of elasticity and the classical beam bending theory are necessary as prerequisites. Basic knowledge of the finite element method is an advantage.
