| TMKM89 | KM Engineering Materials - For Light Weight Applications, ECTS-points /KONSTRUKTIONSMATERIAL - KM - LÄTTA KONSTRUKTIONS MATERIAL/ Advancement level: D | |
| Aim: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to calculate rigidity, states of stress and strain, and also predict the ultimate tensile strength for simpler designs in composite materials with the help of computer software. The participants will also acquire knowledge of the production and testing of laminates, about general characteristics of various types of fiber composites and other anisotropic materials, as well as familiarity with some cases in which the unique qualities of composite materials are given practical applications. To gain knowledge of structures, properties and performance of lightweight materials and hydride materials.Prerequisites: For M: Algebra M, Introductory Mechanics of Materials, Introductory Engineering Materials, Engineering materials. For Y: Linear algebra I, Engineering materials 1. For J: Algebra III, Mechanics of Materials V, Engineering Materials I.Course organization: Instruction is carried out in the form of lectures (some of which are presented by guest lecturers) and large seminars. Computation assignments are also included.Course content: Classification of composite materials.
