Advanced Composites (5op)

Osaamistavoitteet

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 parts. In addition, a target is to make participants know the most important material constituents 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 natural materials in the simulation of material behaviour.

Esitietovaatimukset

The students are required to have basic knowledge of mechanics of materials before entering the course. In detail, fundamentals of elasticity, the classical beam bending theory, reduced (2D) stress-strain states, and matrix algebra are necessary as prerequisites.
