Undergraduate
Course Info
The course provides knowledge relevant to the design and manufacturing technology of composite and smart materials and structures using classical and additive manufacturing. Production technology and applications. Composite materials, homogenization theory, and elements of anisotropic elasticity. Fiber-reinforced composites (CFRP) and materials with functionally graded properties (Functionally Graded Materials). Classical theories of laminated materials/structures, computational methods using finite elements (as a continuation of the computational mechanics course and advanced discussion of shell structures). Smart materials / metamaterials / intelligent structures, smart materials due to microstructure and geometry or due to the integration of multi-physics elements (piezoelectric, microelectronic, and other related elements).
