Course content
- Basic principle of composed materials - composite material. - Mechanical properties of composites unidirectional - longitudinal and transverse (tensile strength, Young's modulus). - Thermal expansion and transport property of composites. - Analysis orthotropic layers of composites (Hooke's law). - Laminates - lamination, base-line of dimensioning of laminates, elastic properties, constitutive equations. - Fundamental options of layers choise - factors influencing of tensile strength of laminates, thermal stress. - Filler - dividing, characterization. - Polymer matrix - dividing, characterization. - Interaction between polymer and matrix. - Electrical conductivities of polymer composites - mechanisms of conductivity, theory of percolation. - Dielectric properties, measuring and calculation of dielectric parameters (dielectric constant, loss factor). - Electromagnetic compatibility and shielding efficiency (basic characteristic, calculation of reflection and absorption coefficient). - Technology of production (pultruzion, whipping, lamination, compression moulding, transfer moulding, injection moulding, spinning, winding, autoclave moulding, reaction injection moulding).
