Course content

- Composite materials - Different types of matrix, fiber, core material - Laminate Theory - Behavior of composites - Strength of composites - Characterization of composites - Damage mechanics, failure criteria - Multifunctional composites - Damage assessment - Non-destructive evaluation

Learning outcome

The students will be able to understand, measure and describe physical, mechanical and material properties that affect the behavior of polymers and composites when exposed to different service environments. Students will be able to understand and use the most important theoretical principles (chemical nature, physico-chemical properties, interfaces, joining, lamination theory, strength analysis, mechanical properties) for the design and construction of products made of polymers and composite materials. Students must design standard components that they will form in the laboratory. Students will then verify their knowledge of design by testing the fabricated components.

Learning methods and activities

If less than 6 students are registered, the course will run in self-learning activity mode.

Further on evaluation

Assignments account for 40 points out of 100 Oral Examination accounts for 60 points out of 100 In order for students to pass, they must reach at least 70 out of 100 points.
