The Composite Systems course comes after the students get to know materials (mainly metals, but also polymers and ceramics) and manufacturing technologies, plus the Strength of Materials related matters. It is give in the sense to give the students the will to create new materials, new products and new processes, as Composite Materials represent a permanent challeng to our imagination
Generic Objectives
To give the basic notions of mechanical behaviour of composite materials and its specificities
To introduce the concepts and theories associated with th e design of composite systems and structures
To introduce the processing techniques and notions for the quality control with Composite Materials
Specific Aims:
To acquaint the students with the specificity of Composite materials of Polymeric matrix, their anisotropic nature and easiness to tailor the properties according to the application
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of th ecourse, the students are expected:
- to know the main resins and finbres, as well as semi-products for the production of composite systems
- to identify the main parameters of differnt manufacturing processes and to be able to make a selection and evluation of technologies
- to conceive and design simple products based on composite systems
- to be able to prepare a quality control procedure for those systems
The students are supposed to have knowledge of properties and processing methodologies related to polymeric materials, as well as backgroung on Solid Mechanics, particularly generalized Hooke's law
