Learning Outcomes

In this course the students shall be able to deepen their knowledge on composite materials, namely their constituents, processing and mechanical characterization.
OB1. - In the end, the students will be able to understand the fundamentals of composites processing
OB2. - Student will be able to design composit structures using recent design criteria
OB3. - Student will be able to design sandwich structures
OB4. - Student will be able to estimate the mechanical behaviour of composite structures from raw materials properties.
