Course content
- Properties of plastics from the point of view of product design, influence of temperature, load duration, short-term, time dependent mech. behaviour. - Technological aspects, residual deformations/stresses. Shape design from the standpoint of stiffness and load capacity, ribs of injection-moulded products. Snap fits, mech. design, technological aspects. FEM analyses in the area of plastic and composite products. - Technical theory of bending of composite beams, sandwich elements, optimisation, bimodularity. - Nonlinear bending, ultimate bending moment, principle of ultimate load design. Ultimate bending moment of one-axis symetrical sections, differ yield points in tension and compression. Calculation of ultimate loads, statical - kinematical approach. - Rubber/metal springs, linear, rotationally symmetrical case of simple shear, rotational shear. Compresive springs, shape factor, shaping function. Strain energy density of small deformations, compressibility, finite deformations of elastomers. - Hyperelastic behaviour of elastomers. - Isotropic hom. walls of thermoplastic products, membrane, bending stress/deformation shell constructions. - Isotropic walls generally layered structure, mech., thermal stresses. Thermoplastic shells with temperature gradient, stress redistribution. - Specifics of mech. behaviour of light-walled products. Buckling of cylindrical shells, long cylindrical shell, stability of ring-reinforced shells. - Anisotropic layered plates and shells - laminates. - General equations of elasticity, matrixs C,S, transformation. Symmetry of elastic properties, monotropic, orthotropic materials, elast., thermoelast. behaviour of orthotropic lamina. - Micromechanic of uniaxially reinforced 2D element, effective elastic constants. - Macromechanic of laminate structures, constitution equations of laminates. - Mechanical behaviour of injection moulded products reinforced with short fibres.
