Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Algebra, Solid Mechanics, Engineering MaterialsIntended learning outcomes
The course will cover two important types of engineering materials, namely fibre-reinforced plastics (FRPs) and light alloys. A comprehensive overview will be given of these two types of materials, to provide the students with good knowledge about relationships between composition, processing, microstructure and engineering properties.
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 geometry. 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.
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.
Teaching and working methods
The course is given in the form of lectures and laboratory classes. In addition there will be a study visit and a homework assignment that must be handed in to the examiner.
