General information about studying at Luleå university

TIMEPERIOD: Q IV

LANGUAGE: English

EXAMINER
Janis Varna Univ lekt

PREREQUISITES
Basic knowledge of materials science

COURSE AIM
The course provides an understanding of the relationship between structure and the mechanical properties of polymeric fiber composites. This understanding forms the basis for materials selection, design considerations and failure analysis of polymer structures subjected to mechanical and thermal loads.

CONTENTS
Constituents Structure and properties of fibers, matrices and interfaces. Processing aspects of the matrix. Geometrical aspects Short fiber composites, fiber length and orientation distributions, porosity. Stiffness Micromechanics relationships, stiffness of unidirectional composite layers, laminate stiffness. Residual strains. Failure Failure of unidirectional composites, mechanisms and models. Failure of laminates. Environmental effects. Fatigue. Short fiber composites.

TEACHING
Lectures and laboratory work

EXAMINATION
Written examination at the end of the course.
