Calculation of composite materials

Calculation of material composites

Basic module: 2 days

Complete module: 10 days

Composite mechanics

•     understand the behavior of composites from their components,
•     properties of resins, fibers, core materials, behavior of reinforcements (unidirectional, off-axis, fabrics),
•     theory of laminated materials, interlaminar constraints, failure criteria, thermics of stratified materials.

Calculation by finished elements of composites

•     Know how to model parts in composites materials: beams, shells, 3D
•     Implement and understand the thermo-mechanical calculations: statics, bowing, vibrations, shock
•     Interpret the results: first ply failure, last ply failure, fatigue, damage tolerance, optimization
•     Implementation of an application case
