Course content
1. Introduction to composite structures and material database (EDU PACK SELECTOR, Cambridge University). 2. Micromechanics of unidirectionally oriented composites. 3. Micromechanics - effective thermal expansion coefficients, transport properties. 4. Fillers and surface treatment of fibers, fabrics. 5. Polymer matrices and their distribution. 6. Composite element - isotropic, orthotropic, anisotropic, stress at a body point and stress tensor components, stiffness and compliance matrix. 7. Macromechanics of laminates, transformation matrix, constitutive equation. 8. Theory of percolation, mechanisms of electrical conductivity in composites, antistatic applications. 9. Sandwich structures and shells. 10. Criteria for damage to composite materials, fracture mechanics and fatigue damage to composite structures. 11. Electromagnetic compatibility and shielding efficiency of composites against electromagnetic waves. 12. Technology of preparation of composite structures.
