Generic Objectives:To give the basic notions of mechanical behaviour of composite materials and its specificitiesTo introduce the concepts and theories associated with design of composite systems and structuresTo introduce the specific processing techniques and notions for the quality control.
Specific Aims:To acquaint the students with the specificity of Composite materials, their anisotropic nature and easiness to tailor the properties. To introduce ceramic and metallic based composite systems and compare them with polymeric matrix composites.
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 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
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
