TMKM06 LK Engineering Materials for Lightweight Applications, 5 p (sw)
/Lättkonstruktion - LK - Lätta konstruktionsmaterial/

Advancement level:
D

Aim:
The aim of the course is to present basic knowledge about polymer based composites. The student will be able to calculate stiffness, stress and strain condition and predict failure for some simple geometries. The student will obtain increased knowledge about manufacturing and testing of fibre composites and see some practical examples where the anisotropic nature of the composite is used. He/she will obtain increased knowledge about light alloys for advanced applications, their physical metallurgy, processing and mechanical properties including fatigue. This knowledge should also be applied in communicating and solving industrial problems.

Prerequisites:
M: Algebra, Solid Mechanics, Engineering Materials basic course, Engineering Materials-Design. Y: Linear Algebra, Engineering Materials I I: Algebra, Solid Mechanics, Engineering Materials I

Course organization:
A lecture course with classes and practical work and a project.

Course content:
Classification of composite materials. Micro- and macro-mechanics of the ply. Basic concepts of laminate theory. Fibre, matrix and matrix-fibre interface properties. Analysis, manufacturing and testing of laminated structures. Light alloys and their processing. Structure and properties of aluminium alloys and forging alloys. Aluminium alloys for casting. Magnesium alloys. Titanium alloys.

Course literature:
Hull: An Introduction to Composite Materials, Polmear: Light Alloys, Written material handed out by the division.

Course language is English.
